In a first of its kind project in both Ireland and Britain, a spin off of civil engineering firm Liffey Developments, Geothermal Energy, is spending 100 million Euros to build a system that will use geothermal energy to provide heating and hot water to 60,000 homes.
The company plans to develop a district heating system on the south side of Dublin, Ireland.
The next stage of the plan will be to build such systems in Grangecastle, Newcastle and Tallaght.
Commercial director for the company, Pádraig Hanly has said that the initial exploration work to identify suitable sites has already been done and that work on the Tallaght facility will begin in 2009.
GT Energy is an independent company that branched out of Liffey Developments, which is a well- known civil engineering firm from Ireland, whose clients are Ballymore Properties, Ellier Developments and Iarnród Éireann amongst others.
