Six out of seven towers have now been installed.

September 2024: First turbines installed

Construction of Crossmore Wind Farm reached another major milestone in September with the successful installation of the first turbines, including tower, nacelle and blades.

September 2024: Transformer delivered

The 44-tonne unit was transported via specialist hauliers from Dublin Port to the wind farm 38 kV substation in Crossmore, travelling at a reduced speed for safety along the 270-kilometer journey, which lasted five hours.

The transformer will enable the transmission of renewable energy from the 25.2 MW wind farm.

August 2024: First blades arriving

The 57-metre-long blades are being manoeuvred around ‘the Rocky Road’ roundabout on the Ennis bypass as they travel to site in Crossmore, near Lissycasey.

August 2024: First turbine deliveries:

The first turbine components to arrive on site were the 57-metre-long blades. They were transported from the Port of Galway, along the M18 to Ennis before travelling via the N68 through Lissycasey and onto the L6180 to the site entrance. Specialist hauliers, Mar-Train Heavy Haulage, are delivering all seven tower and blade sections. Other large deliveries will include the turbine nacelles – the covers which house the generators and gearboxes. In all, that’s a total of 77 components.
