Statkraft has decided to construct Cloghan and Taghart wind farms in Ireland. In addition, the company has agreed to sell the wind farms to Greencoat Renewables while retaining responsibility for the construction and the long-term operation and management.
Cloghan (37.8MW) is located in County Offaly and Taghart (25.2MW) in County Cavan in Ireland. Construction will commence early 2021. Statkraft will manage the construction of both wind farms and will provide operational management services for the wind farms in the operations phase. The ownership of the assets will be transferred to Greencoat Renewables PLC when they become operational in 2022. The total value of the project, including construction costs, is €123 million.
