The local energy action plan for Graiguenamanagh-Tinnahinch employs a series of small-scale hydroelectric interventions to engage the declining towns with the amenity of the River Barrow.

The plan aims to revitalize the towns’ community spaces while utilizing the hydropower potential that could supply more than 40% of the households with power. The plan was formed during a research-based semester centered around the idea of building a civil infrastructure in Ireland.
