Laois-Kilkenny: Need for project with potential future
developments

The Stage 1 Report for the Laois � Kilkenny Reinforcement Project was published in May 2011. One of the findings of this report was the identification of an emerging preferred site for the 400/110 kV substation in Laois. During the subsequent four week public consultation phase on this report, no new information came to the project team�s attention that would alter its opinion that the location identified is the most suitable.

This Appropriate Assessment Screening Report has been prepared to determine the
potential impacts of the Laois Kilkenny Reinforcement Project on sites designated as
European conservation areas known as Natura 2000 sites as required under Article 6
of the EU Habitats Directive.
