Ireland: Mannok Cement has submitted plans for a ground-mounted solar PV power plant on about 100 acres west of its Ballyconnell headquarters. The producer will install steel-mounted PV panels, underground cable, a temporary construction compound and three transformer stations, with gravel access tracks, widened field entrances, CCTV, entrance gates and perimeter fencing, and will reportedly operate the facility under a 40-year licence subject to approval by Cavan County Council. Consultants estimated that the project could reduce Mannok’s CO₂ emissions by more than 3700t in the first year of operation.
