Overview: Garrane Green Energy
- Ireland faces an extraordinary challenge to move its energy system from one based primarily based on fossil fuel to one predominantly powered by renewable energy. We believe that wind energy will play a central role in Ireland’s transition to a low-carbon economy by 2050.
- We are proposing a wind energy project featuring up to 9 turbines on a site located in the townland of Garrane, Co. Limerick.
- 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.
