Project Updates

We would like wish everyone in the community a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from all the team at Ballynisky Green Energy . Thank you to all the local residents that engaged with our community team throughout 2024.

As surveys for the proposed Ballynisky Green Energy project progress, we remain committed to community engagement and continue to offer support via email and phone. Please feel free to contact our community team via email: info@ballyniskygreenenergy.ie or via phone on 061 975 200.

As our community consultation continues, we are sharing a new leaflet with a summary of the proposed project’s key information. 

 Please click here to view. 

We have added a new section to the Ballynisky Green Energy website which shares links to external websites for those wishing to conduct further research on renewable energy, climate change or the Limerick County Development plan. Here you can also download our leaflets and brochures.

We would like to thank all the teachers and students who joined us for a tour of our operational wind farm.

The 4th – 6th class students viewed the turbines up close and they received a talk about climate change and renewable energy from our ecology team and Dr. Susan Byrne who is the Community Liaison Officer for Ballynisky Green Energy. Susan’s qualifications include a PHD in measuring community greenhouse gas and a BSc in Environmental Science. 

They then took time to explore the inner workings of turbines and learned about the technology that generates clean electricity. Inside the turbine we showed them the dashboards that show how much electricity is being produced at that moment in time and how much electricity has been produced since the turbine first became operational.

The junior classes joined us for a bug hunt and ecology lesson around the windfarm site. 

Irish wind farms continued their strong performance in February, providing 42 per cent of the country’s electricity!

We would like to thank all residents and interested groups who took the time to attend our public exhibition and speak to us regarding our plans for the Ballynisky Green Energy project.

We are grateful for the feedback shared. We are now in the process of taking this feedback into consideration for the further development of the project.

All materials displayed at the event can be seen here: https://ballyniskygreenenergy.ie/public-consultation/ 

As part of our initial engagement with the surrounding community, we will:

• Distribute leaflets to residents in the local community area with key information
• Have direct engagement with political representatives and local community groups to introduce the project and the team.
• Have direct conversations with residents who requested a face-to-face meeting in the area and continue to be available for home visits for those interested in talking to us about the project.
• Engage with media to highlight the beginning of the consultation and raise awareness of the project
