RED III - Erection of a 19.48 MWp ground-mounted Solar Photovoltaic (PV) farm on lands off Station Road located to the west of Platin Cement Works and associated quarry north of Duleek, Co. Meath. The project will occupy approximately 22.35 hectares of agricultural fields adjacent to the existing cement facility and is designed to directly supply renewable electricity to the plant, thereby improving its energy efficiency and sustainability profile. The development will consist of photovoltaic panels mounted on fixed-tilt frames oriented to the south, with associated underground cabling and electrical infrastructure, including three transformer cabins and inverters. It will also include internal access tracks, a temporary construction compound and set-down area, perimeter security fencing, and CCTV where required. The grid connection will be made via the existing on-site substation at the Irish Cement Plant, enabling the generated power to be consumed on-site. This development is covered by the provisions of the Renewable Energy Directive III (Directive (EU) 2023/2413) and it is important to note that the planning application may be subject to section 34D of the Planning and Development Act 2000, as amended.
