The wind farm, which commenced operations in 2005,[1] was sold by the Lanber Group to Gaelectric in 2015.[4] In 2018, the Commission for Regulation of Utilities (CRU) conducted an investigation into potential impact on the grid system as, while the wind farm had consent to generate 31.5MW of output, it was reportedly generating 42MW.[5] Following the investigation, the CRU determined that it was "not in the public interest" to take "enforcement" action on the alleged breach of the Electricity Regulation Act, 1999.[2]
Operationedit
The E-70 turbines, used at the wind farm, are made by Enercon and have rotor diameters of 70 m.[6] The electricity generated by the turbines at the wind farm is fed into the national electricity grid via a sub-station near Monageer, County Wexford.[7]
