Crossmore Wind Farm was originally granted planning permission in 2009 and granted a planning extension in 2019.  The consented wind energy development will consist of seven turbines with a maximum tip height of 126.5m.  The wind farm will have a 35-year operational life from the date of commissioning.

September/October 2023: Construction Begins

Construction of the Crossmore Wind Farm has begun with the installation of the contractors’ compound on site.  Preliminary works, including passing bay construction and public road widening, commenced in late August.

We will post regular construction updates here and we’ll also be sending texts. If you’d like to register for this service, please email your contact details - including name, Eircode and mobile number - to clo@energia.ie.  Please ensure you put ‘Crossmore’ into the subject line of your email.

Community Benefit Fund

We want local people to see and feel the benefit of renewable energy through our wind farm benefit funds, which support community groups, voluntary organisations and environmental projects situated near our wind farms.

The Crossmore annual community benefit fund will be designed to meet the needs of the local area and will be administered by an independent charitable foundation on behalf of Energia.   

Local community groups will be invited to apply for the first round of project grants after one year of wind farm operation.

  • Learn… how drones play a key role in turbine maintenance
  • Explore... the need for climate action and energy transition
  • Think... about a career in renewable energy
