We can offer residents the opportunity to join us on a tour to visit a nearby wind farm to better understand the development.

• Wind accounted for 45% of the country’s energy in October 2022. This means renewable energy was the biggest single electricity source in Ireland for that month! [Source: RTE.ie & windenergyireland.com]
• Electricity generated by a wind turbine does not produce any CO2 emissions, although there are emissions during construction, transport, installation and decommissioning.
• Once built, wind energy costs close to zero to produce, so it reduces the volume of demand from fossil fuel generators. If there is 1,000 MW of wind energy on the system this is not just displacing carbon-emitting fossil fuels, it is displacing the most expensive fossil fuels to deliver cleaner, cheaper power to homes and industry.
