Huntstown Power Station is one of Ireland's largest combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power stations, comprising the 343 MW Huntstown Phase 1 generating station and the 401 MW Huntstown Phase 2 generating station. Operating these facilities efficiently while maintaining compliance with environmental and occupational noise regulations requires ongoing specialist acoustic consultancy.
Allegro Acoustics has provided acoustic consultancy services to Huntstown Power Station since 2014. The appointment includes annual environmental noise monitoring for Industrial Emissions Licence compliance, annual occupational noise monitoring and detailed environmental noise modelling using SoundPLAN to assess the acoustic impact of new plant installations and facility extensions across both Phase 1 and Phase 2. Allegro Acoustics also provides ongoing technical support, helping the station manage operational acoustic issues and supporting future development projects.
The result is a long-term acoustic partnership that supports regulatory compliance, facilitates the continued development of both generating stations and ensures environmental and occupational noise is effectively managed throughout the operational life of the facility.
