The Drumlins Park wind farm is under construction near Newbliss in Co. Monaghan. When completed later this year, the 8 turbines will produce 49 MW of renewable energy.
This amount of renewable energy will power 34,000 households or enough to power all homes in Monaghan and half of all homes in Cavan. The development will give rise to a range of benefits, including up to 100 temporary construction jobs that it is currently creating.
It will also create permanent operation and maintenance roles, as well as ancillary functions. The development will have a 30-year operational life from the date of commissioning. All turbine components have now been delivered to site and turbines are now being fully assembled. Newbliss According to the Energia Group that's behind this project, when up and running the renewable energy that will be created will be equivalent to removing 22,000 cars off the roads.
