Airport says initial 5.5-acre site will reduce costs, guarantee energy supply and lower reliance of fossil fuels
The solar farm application is just one of five planning applications Shannon Airport Authority DAC has before Clare County Council as the airport prepares for passenger numbers to exceed two million in 2024.
The planned solar farm site lies beside the airport’s taxiway 12. An engineering report by Tobin highlights an area beside the planned solar farm for potential future expansion of the solar facility. That area is a multiple of the 5.5 acres for which planning is being sought. A spokeswoman for the Shannon Group said capital expenditure for the various planned projects “will be funded from our own resources”.
