EDF Renewables<\/a> has announced plans to develop a 100MW wind farm to the south of Bellacorick in Mayo \u2013 the proposed project could consist of up to 25 turbines and power more than 60,000 homes<\/h2>\n

The project will be located in a forested area to the northeast of Slieve Carr, approximately 8km southeast of Bangor Erris.<\/p>\n

EDF is currently gathering wind data<\/a> and mapping the environmental constraints on site which will be used to create a preliminary wind turbine layout. Detailed environmental studies will also be carried out at the site, including ecology, noise, landscape and visual assessments.<\/p>\n

The results of these studies, together with feedback gathered in consultation with local communities, will be used to determine the final wind farm layout and number of turbines.<\/p>\n

EDF Renewables Ireland intends to submit a planning application and an Environmental Impact Assessment Report<\/a> in support of the project to An Bord Plean\u00e1la in early 2022.<\/p>\n

The wind farm is expected to be operational in 2028. A Community Benefit Fund commensurate with the size of the final project will be established to provide funding for local community initiatives and activities.<\/p>\n

EDF Renewables Ireland is committed to keeping local people informed about its projects and a number of public consultation events will take place as the Kilsallagh Wind Farm progresses.<\/p>\n

These will be either online or in a local venue, depending on Covid-19 restrictions.<\/p>\n

Efforts to tackle the climate crisis<\/h3>\n

Kevin Daly, head of development at EDF Renewables Ireland, said: \u201cKilsallagh Wind Farm will make a positive contribution to Ireland\u2019s efforts to tackle the climate crisis<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe look forward to working closely with residents and the community in Mayo and the County Council to keep them updated on progress and the benefits this project will bring to the local area.\u201d<\/p>\n
