Powering Green Energy Together
BnM and SSE Renewables have launched a 50:50 joint venture which will target the delivery of up to 800MW of new renewable onshore wind energy across the Midlands.
As part of this joint venture, it is proposed to develop a wind farm on Coolnagun, Milkernagh and Coolcraff Bogs located in Counties Longford and Westmeath. The proposed wind farm will be known as Coolnagun Wind Farm.
As the project is at a very early stage, the proposed number, location and height of turbines have not yet been determined. The joint venture partnership is fully committed to informing and engaging with you through an active communication programme. It is very important to us that local communities have the opportunity to provide feedback to help inform the design, construction and operation of the proposed wind farm.
At this stage of the project, we are seeking feedback from the community on the proposed intention to develop a wind farm on these bogs. To view the Public Consultation Material that was recently distributed to homes in the locality of the proposed development please click on the links below:
The Project
The purpose of the Coolnagun Wind Farm is to generate renewable electricity which will be transmitted directly onto Ireland’s National Grid which is managed by EirGrid.
Community Benefits
We ensure that local communities in the area benefit from the development of our wind farms by providing various benefits arising from their construction and operation.
Communications
We are committed to continuing to keep local residents informed about the proposed wind farm.
