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 Report identifies the context for the planned EKNWC project, and
potential project solutions. It is intended that the information contained in
this Report will enable meaningful consultation between the project team
and all interested parties, including members of the public and An Bord
Plean�la as likely competent authority for public planning, in relation to the
proposed development.
