Edenderry Power Station is a large peat-fired power station near Edenderry, in the Republic of Ireland. The station is capable of generating up to 120 MWe of power, making it the second-largest peat-fired power station in the country. It has been owned by Bord na Móna since 2006 and is part of the Powergen section of the Peat Energy Division. It was purchased from E.ON in December 2005. Trials of co-fuelling the plant with biomass commenced in 2007 and were successful. Currently the plant is co-fired with about 9% biomass, with a target of 30% co-fuelling by 2015.
