Turbine plant to create 30 new jobs in Co Louth

Tuesday October 21 2008

A turbine manufacturing plant in Co Louth has announced plans to create up to 30 new jobs after winning an order to develop a tidal-current farm in France.

The jobs will be created at the Open Hydro plant in Omeath.

The French project involves the installation of at least four and up to 10 large, seabed-mounted marine turbines at a tidal farm in Brittany.

The turbines are to be connected to the French electricity network from 2011.
