Our Role on the River Shannon
We have a statutory role to generate electricity at Ardnacrusha as outlined in the Shannon Electricity Act 1925, Electricity Supply Act 1927 and Electricity Supply (Amendment) Act 1934. In broad terms, this legislation permits ESB to generate electricity at Ardnacrusha and to manage the weirs, sluices and other works that are part of the Shannon Scheme.
