Facility to have eight turbines
A German multinational energy company has received planning permission from An Bord Pleanála for an onshore wind farm in Co Clare.
RWE secured permission for its Fahy Beg wind farm, due to be located six kilometres southwest of Killaloe, following an extensive consultation period with local communities over a three-year period. In its decision, An Bord Pleanála considered that the proposed development would be in accordance with European, national, regional and local planning policy and would make a positive contribution to Ireland’s national strategic policy on renewable energy and its move to a low energy carbon future.SNP leader looks to Republic in bid to free Scotland from Britain’s flagging economy
An Bord Pleanála said the proposed development would also be acceptable in terms of impact on the visual amenities and landscape character of the area and would not seriously injure the amenities of property in the vicinity.
