Board members visit Turlough Hill

The HCC which remotely controls ESB's other hydro stations is up and running for over a year and has been enabled by state of the art technology which was demonstrated to the visitors by the Operations Staff at the plant. The Board Members were welcomed by Pat O'Doherty, newly appointed General Manager, Power Generation, Pat Naughton, Hydro Manager and John McManus, Plant Manager Turlough Hill stations. They also took the opportunity to view the upper reservoir and take in a tour of the station which was facilitated by Austin Gilroy.
