Datasets of hydro energy generators connected to the electricity network are Downloadable as GIS shapefiles. Two Spatial reference systems are applied to the Downloadable GIS shapefiles: Irish transverse Mercator (ITM) and WGS 84 (EPSG:3857). Connected generators are those with an electrical connection to the electricity network or “grid”. Each connection is quantified by a Maximum Export Capacity (MEC), expressed in megawatts (MW). Hydro generators built over multiple Phases appear in these datasets as individual generators, each with a total MEC value. Such generators are larger, TSO-connected, and built in early decades of the State at: Ardnacrusha, Cliff, Cathleen’s Fall, Inniscarra, and Pollaphuca. The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) offers the same data in its Hydro Mapping System, a digital map of Ireland’s hydro energy connections and resources (http://gis.seai.ie/hydro). References Ireland’s distributed System Operator (DSO) and Transmission System Operator (TSO), ESB Networks and EirGrid respectively, provided the raw data on hydro energy connections. They publish their datasets, for information purposes, at: DSO Connected-Energised Non-Wind Generators (ESB Networks) https://www.esbnetworks.ie/new-connections/generator-connections-group/generator-statistics TSO Connected Renewable Generators (EirGrid Group) https://www.eirgridgroup.com/customer-and-industry/general-customer-information/connected-and-contracted-generators/

Mineral resource occurrence data covering the world, most thoroughly within the U.S. This database contains the records previously provided in the Mineral Resource Data System (MRDS) of USGS and the Mineral Availability System/Mineral Industry Locator System (MAS/MILS) originated in the U.S. Bureau of Mines, which is now part of USGS. The MRDS is a large and complex relational database developed over several decades by hundreds of researchers and reporters. While database records describe mineral resources worldwide, the compilation of information was intended to cover the United States completely, and its coverage of resources in other countries is incomplete. The content of MRDS records was drawn from reports previously published or made available to USGS researchers. Some of those original source materials are no longer available. The information contained in MRDS was intended to reflect the reports used as sources and is current only as of the date of those source reports. Consequently MRDS does not reflect up-to-date changes to the operating status of mines, ownership, land status, production figures and estimates of reserves and resources, or the nature, size, and extent of workings. Information on the geological characteristics of the mineral resource are likely to remain correct, but aspects involving human activity are likely to be out of date.

Connected wind farm locations in Ireland (ex Northern Ireland) extracted from SEAI's Wind Atlas. Connected wind farms as per Eirgrid and ESB Networks reports which correspond to the wind farm layer on the SEAI Wind Atlas. (See references at description end.) In interpreting the information, PLEASE NOTE the following cautions: 1) Grid coordinates of substations have been used where the wind farm grid coordinates were not available in the planning application information. However, as a substation may or may not be located within the site of the wind farm it serves, it should be noted that the precise accuracy of this coordinate information cannot be assured. 2) Possible stand-alone projects not intended for connection to the Irish electricity grid are not included in this map. 3) The map entries are not necessarily all discrete wind farms. Some could be extensions to existing wind farms, and some could be formal registered capacity additions involving no physical addition of new wind turbines. Zipped collections of shapefiles are available in two spatial reference or coordinate systems: 1) Irish Transverse Mercator (ITM, EPSG:2157) 2) WGS 84 Web Mercator (EPSG:3857) References ESB Generator Statistics EirGrid Connected and Contracted Generators -- Ireland .hidden { display: none } Public Dashboards No dashboard exists for this dataset.

The dataset on offshore wind farms in the European seas was created in 2014 by CETMAR for the European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet). It is the result of the aggregation and harmonization of datasets provided by several sources. It is updated every year and it is available for viewing and download on EMODnet web portal (Human Activities, https://emodnet.ec.europa.eu/en/human-activities). The dataset contains points and/or (where available) polygons representing offshore wind farms in the following countries: Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom. Each point and polygon has the following attributes (where available): Name, Nº of turbines, Status (Approved, Planned, Dismantled, Construction, Production, Test site), Country, Update year, Start year, Power (MW), Distance to coast (metres) and Area (square kilometres). The distance to coast (EEA coastline shapefile) has been calculated using the UTM WGS84 Zone projected coordinate system where data fall in.

The data was sourced from Public Health England (http://www.hpa.org.uk/webc/HPAwebFile/HPAweb_C/1317141074607) and was subsequently converted to a more usable format so that it could be combined with Local Authority boundary data provided by the Ordnance Survey under their OpenData agreement. The original data was in pdf format. The zip contains an xls document which should corresdond to the main data tables. Northern Ireland is not included in the shapefile, but is available in the download as a separate xls should you require it. GIS vector data. This dataset was first accessioned in the EDINA ShareGeo Open repository on 2014-04-16 and migrated to Edinburgh DataShare on 2017-02-22.

The Groundwater Vulnerability map shows land areas across Ireland where groundwater can be easily polluted. It also shows areas where it is well protected by the subsoil layers. The vulnerability category given to a site or an area is based on how easy it is for water which may contain pollutants to reach the groundwater. Geologists map and record information on the subsoils above the bedrock. They find out how deep the subsoil is and how permeable it is (how easy water can pass through it). They use information from quarries, deep pits and from boreholes (a deep narrow round hole drilled in the ground). Subsoil depth, type and permeability maps are combined to work out the groundwater vulnerability at that location. Landforms found in the Irish landscape like sinkholes and sinking streams (‘karst’ landforms) are categorised as extremely vulnerable as water can pass straight through. Where the water table is close to the surface in sand and gravel aquifers, groundwater vulnerability is also extremely vulnerable. This Groundwater Vulnerability map is to the scale 1:40,000. This means it should be viewed at that scale. When printed at that scale 1cm on the map relates to a distance of 400m. It is a vector dataset. Vector data portray the world using points, lines, and polygons (areas). The groundwater vulnerability data are shown as polygons. Each polygon holds information on the vulnerability category (X, E, H, M or L), a description explaining this (‘Extreme – rock at or near surface/karst’, ‘Extreme’, ‘High’, ‘Moderate’ or ‘Low’) and a unique id.
