Ballynisky Green Energy Project

  • Ireland faces an extraordinary challenge to move its energy system from one primarily based on fossil fuel to one dominated instead by renewable energy. We believe that wind energy can play a central role in Ireland’s transition to a low-carbon economy by 2050.
  • The project is a proposed 6 turbine windfarm, located on a site neighbouring the townland of Ballynisky, near Coolcappa in West Limerick.
  • This site has been designated as a preferred area for wind energy development by Limerick City and County Council as part of the Limerick Development Plan 2022– 2028 in line with current national policy and favourable conditions for wind energy generation.
  • The site was selected following extensive local examination, taking into account the proximity to residential properties, natural heritage, landscape and visual impacts, archaeology, hydrology and many other considerations.
