We recently circulated a letter to residents around the Clonfad area informing them of the commencement of works to construct this solar project.
Ramming Works commencing – Mid May 24” and will be ongoing during the coming months
General construction works commencing in various locations across the site with the establishment of site roads & entrance ways etc ongoing.
As part of the development process of the permitted Clondfad Solar Project, we recently informed residents, by way of a letter drop in the local area, that we would soon be starting the initial stages of enabling works for construction.
