A Butlersbridge business is on a mission to put Co Cavan firmly on the global map by using the first of its kind technology to harvest power from a nearby river.
Murph’s Gastro Pub is seeking planning permission to use a world-first technology that would allow the premises to run on power from the Annalee river outside its front door.
The technology is a small, floating turbine designed by GKinetic.
The Annalee River should give Murph’s Gastro Pub at least 70,000 kilowatt hours of electricity annually.
That is around 15 times what the average Irish household uses and would meet a lot of the pub’s electricity needs as well as cutting the cost of the businesses energy bills significantly.
Jodie Curran has been speaking with Fergus Murphy of Murph’s Gastro Pub about the innovative plan.
