*The wind farm is located on a 750 hectare site. AN BORD PLEANÁLA has given the green light to Coillte for contentious plans for a large scale 19 turbine wind farm in east Clare that will have the capacity to power 66,500 homes annually.
One of East Clare’s biggest projects has moved a step closer with elected representatives of the local authority approving a planners report for the development of the Carrownagowan Wind Farm.
Coillte have been criticised for the manner in which they have prepared a planning application for a wind farm in East Clare which if developed as planned could yield a €10m contribution for the local area.
