Galway Daily news Plans in the works for northwest Galway wind farm

Plans are in the works for the construction of a wind farm in the north of Galway in the vicinity of Headford.

RWE Renewables Ireland intends to make an application to An Bord Pleanála for a wind farm of up to 13 turbines to the north-east of Headford.

The wind farm would be built on the townlands of Beagh More, Cloonber, Cloonnaglasha, Cloonsheen, Cloonteen, Corillaun, Derrymore, Shancloon, Toberroe and Tonacooleen.

The plans are currently at the pre-application consultation stage with An Bord Pleanála and the county council.

It is only after this stage is concluded that a full planning application for the development can be made.

Other plans are also before the higher planning authority for a 54MW wind farm near Moylough.
