Bord na Móna and SSE Renewables are joining up to form what could be Ireland’s largest onshore wind energy partnership
They say they will be investing more than €1 billion in projects including the Littleton Wind Farm here in Tipperary.
They also mention Lemanaghan Wind Farm in north-west Offaly and the Garryhinch Wind Farm on the Laois Offaly border
All three of these projects remain in the pre-planning phase of development but if successful they would provide 800 megawatts of renewable energy which could power over 450,000 homes and help Ireland reach it’s 20-30 climate targets on renewables and emissions
They also promise it would support hundreds of jobs during construction and operation.
