We, Gannow Ltd., are exploring the potential of a renewable energy development in your area, which we have identified as having potential for a development of approximately 9 no. wind turbines which is likely to have a generating capacity up to 50 Mega Watts (MW). Click below image for location map.
Currently it is hoped that a planning application for the proposed development will be ready by the middle of this year. As the proposal is likely to have a generating capacity of up to 50 Mega Watts (MW), the application will be submitted directly to Galway County Council.
The development of a community benefit fund has become a fundamental component of all renewable energy projects in recent years. At this stage it is not possible to determine the exact community benefit that will be available as part of this proposal. However, as an example, a 50MW development developed under the current Renewable Energy Support Scheme (RESS), would attract a community contribution of approximately €325,000 per annum for the first 15 years of operation. The value of this fund would be directly proportional to the electricity generated by the development. The purpose of the fund is to bring about significant positive change to the local area. Further information regarding the potential community benefit fund is available on the project website.
Gannow Ltd, is an associated company of Enerco Energy Ltd., an Irish-owned, Cork-based company with extensive experience in the design, construction and operation of wind energy developments throughout Ireland, with projects currently operating or in construction in Counties Cork, Kerry, Limerick, Clare, Galway, Mayo and Donegal.
By Q3 2024, Enerco associated companies had over 875 Megawatts (MW) of wind generating capacity in commercial operation or in construction, with a further c.400MW of projects at various stages in its portfolio to assist in meeting Ireland’s renewable energy targets.
