The proposed Lyra Wind Farm project is situated in the west of Ireland in Co. Mayo, approximately 7km southeast of Westport, and 2.2km southeast of Aghagower Village and 9.5km west of Ballintubber Village. The area under investigation is situated in the townlands of Cordarragh South, Corveagh Upper and Teevinish West. Much of the proposed turbine area is located at an elevation of between 100m and 200m above sea level.

This project is in the early stages of the development process. Consultation with key stakeholders, resource modelling, and site assessments have commenced.

Carrane Hill Wind Farm lies within Carrownadargny townland close to Geevagh, approximately 20km to the South East of Sligo town in Co. Sligo. The Wind Farm has a mean elevation of around 430 meters and an average wind speed at hub height of around 9 meters/second. The site is surrounded by commercial forestry to the west and north east.

Carrane Hill Wind Farm consists of four Gamesa G52 turbines and was constructed over the summer of 2006. It was commissioned and commenced generation in November 2006 under an Alternative Energy Requirement VI power contract. Carrane Hill was officially opened in July 2007 by the late Mr. Brendan Mc Williams with a blessing by local parish priests Fr. Alwell and Fr. Cullen.

Project Summary
Consented Number of Turbines	4
Consented MW	3.4MW
Commissioning Date	2006
Current Owner	ESB Wind Development Ltd

 

Buttevant Wind Farm is located in the Ballyhoura Mountain range, close to DP Energy’s head office. The project is based entirely within established forestry on Coillte lands, taking up less than 5% of the land on the site and allowing existing recreational activities to continue. It was granted planning consent in January 2016 for 6 turbines with a maximum tip height of 135m.

The project has a grid connection offer under Gate 3 of the Commission for Electricity Regulation (Note: CER is now CRU) process with the grid connection planned at Charleville Substation. The site lies immediately west of the ESB/Coillte consented 14 turbine Castlepook windfarm.   DP Energy is working closely with ESBI/Coillte on the coordination of construction activities for the neighbouring project, with shared access arrangements and a common grid connection.

The mitigation and monitoring measures described in the planning application will be implemented and integrated into the construction and operation of the development.
