The station is capable of generating up to {{nowrap|153 MWe}} of power, thus ranking as the largest peat-fired power station in the country.[1][2] The power station was constructed as a replacement to the ageing {{nowrap|125 MWe}} Shannonbridge Power Station. The Station directly employs approx forty full time with additional contract and part time staff. The Station further supports employment in the Semi State Bord na Mona which supplies West Offaly with milled peat from the surrounding bogs.
