SSE Renewables and FuturEnergy Ireland have jointly submitted a planning application for Glenora Wind Farm to An Bord Pleanála. The proposed site is located in North Mayo, approximately 7km southwest of Ballycastle and 6km southeast of Belderrig.
The two companies are 50:50 co-development partners for the proposed 22 turbine onshore wind farm. If approved and constructed as proposed, Glenora Wind Farm would have the capacity to generate 158MW of energy. An application to An Bord Pleanála for the proposed infrastructure to connect Glenora Wind Farm to the national grid is expected to be submitted in the second half of next year. Final delivery of Glenora Wind Farm will be subject to the project receiving the necessary planning consents, securing a route to market, and a final investment decision by the project’s co-development partners.
