Radio Kerry understands that a subsidiary of New Fortress Energy has sought a pre-planning meeting with An Bórd Pleanála.
Last month, the planning body refused permission to New Fortress Energy to build a liquefied natural gas terminal on the Tarbert/Ballylongford landbank.
It’s understood this meeting was requested two weeks after planning was rejected for the terminal in North Kerry.

This was to deliver 400MW of electricity generation capacity at its proposed power plant.
It’s understood the pre-planning meeting relates to the construction of two electricity substations and a planned grid connection.
