Ballydermot Wind Farm Noticeboard

Proposed Grid Connection Route Published - April 2026

The project team has published the proposed grid connection route for the proposed Ballydermot Wind Farm. As with all wind energy developments, a grid connection is required to enable the electricity generated by the proposed wind farm to be transmitted to the national electricity grid, which is operated by EirGrid and supplies electricity across Ireland.

To find out more details on the proposed connection route please view the latest Project Information Booklet here.

The proposed wind farm layout remains as previously shared with the local community in late 2022 and comprises 47 turbines with an overall tip height of 200 and 220 metres. A copy of the proposed wind farm layout and draft amenity plan can be viewed in the project updates section. Please click here to view.

The Project

The purpose of the Ballydermot Wind Farm is to generate renewable electricity for the domestic electricity market in Ireland.

Community Benefits

We ensure that local communities in the area benefit from the development of our wind farms by providing various benefits arising from their construction and operation.

Communications

We are committed to continuing to keep local residents informed about the proposed wind farm.

Wind Energy
