| Description |
|
Looking as if
it might have been designed by Giles Gilbert
Scott, the architect of Bankside and
Battersea power stations, this art deco
building was home to Guinness's own power
station. The twin chimneys suggest it
had two boilers and two turbines. The
new chimneys belong to the old station's
replacement, a 14.2MW gas fired combined
heat and power station. The CHP plant
is located outdoors within the brewery site
and incorporates three gas turbines along
with three steam boilers. The system
is built to use either natural gas or diesel
fuel. Parts of it can be glimpsed in
the image below, as seen from the other side
of the River Liffey. |
