Project Being Constructed

Will generate renewable electricity for the Irish Electricity Grid System

Comprises over 300,000 solar panels

With an output in the region of 175mW, it will have the capacity to reduce carbon emissions by approx. 750,000 tonnes

There will be an onsite 110kV substation

All cabling will be placed underground

Material for the construction of the roads and hardstanding areas will be sourced as locally as possible to minimise the number of traffic movements

Associated works include access tracks and hardstanding areas, a local borrow pit, drainage works, a temporary site compound, steel framework, mounted PV modules, underground electrical and communications cables between inverters and an underground cable to connect to the Grid

An inclusive Community Benefits package (based on feedback from those in the local area) has been developed which will allow a wide range of individuals and organisations to benefit from the proposed solar farm

More than 250 jobs will be created during the construction, operation and maintenance phases of the proposed project
