Whitegate power station is a 445 MW combined cycle gas turbine electricity generating station near Whitegate, County Cork in Ireland. It was commissioned in 2010 and can supply up to ten percent of the electricity demand in Ireland.
In 2005 the then ESB Eirgrid identified that additional electricity generating capacity would be required by 2010. In response Bord Gáis Éireann , a commercial state body, proposed to build a new power station in County Cork. A site was selected adjacent to Whitegate refinery, this provided ready access to light distillate from the refinery for use as fuel. It was also close to the natural gas grid and to the electricity grid at the 110 kV high voltage Whitegate substation. Bord Gáis contracted General Electric Operations and Maintenance to design, operate and maintain the power station. Construction started in March 2008. The investment in the station was €400 million.
