Edenderry Power Station will continue to mix burning peat and biomass until 2023.
The Irish Congress of Trade Unions is calling for an urgent review of Ireland's energy policy, with fears that peat stocks will run out sooner than anticipated.
The Edenderry Power Station is to continue burning a mix of peat and biomass until 2023, when it's intended to switch to biomass fully.
However, SIPTU's Wille Noone says it's difficult to take Bord na Móna at its word, with the recent announcement of a complete end to peat harvesting and failure to quickly re-train workers into rehabilitation roles.
He's also expressing concern that stocks will run out at the Derrinlough briquette factory and Kilberry horticultural plant in Kildare, resulting in job losses:
