The power plant, built on the site of a former British army fort, began operation in 1903 and was expanded 1911-13, 1933-40, and 1945. It went on standby status after the adjacent Poolbeg Generating Station came online in 1971. The Pigeon House generator was decommissioned in 1976; Poolbeg in 2010. The Poolbeg Chimneys are an iconic feature of the Dublin landscape and were designated protected structures by the city in 2014.
