Energy Minister Says Ardnacrusha "Still A Very Important Part" Of Energy Network

The Energy Minister is hailing the contribution of Ardnacrusha Power Station to Ireland's economy and says it's still a "very important part" of the energy network. Fianna Fáil Minister for Climate, Energy and the Environment Darragh O'Brien is at the south-east Clare facility today for the 'Electrifying Ireland: A Shared Vision for the Future' conference. Ardnacrusha was Ireland's first hydroelectric station and remains its largest river hydro scheme. Minister O'Brien has been telling Clare FM's Seán Lyons it's a success story that can be learned from as the country moves towards renewables.
