A decision is due this week on plans for a solar farm near Clonmel.
The Springmount Solar Farm is proposed for a 64 hectare site to the north of the N24.
The site – which takes in Rathkeevin, Kilmolash and Jamestown – would power the equivalent of 12,000 households or three quarters of the town of Clonmel.
BayWa R.E is the company behind the project – they are seeking planning permission for a 35 year period following which the farm would be fully decommissioned.
Tipperary County Council is due to issue a ruling by Thursday next.
