Teiges

Teiges Wind Farm, near Brookeborough in County Fermanagh, has been operational since 2018 and consists of 5 GE 2.5 turbines with a total capacity of 12.5 MW. 

The wind farm produces enough electricity to power a town the size of nearby Enniskillen and avoids the release of over 11,000 tonnes of carbon emissions every year, which is equivalent to taking 5,300 cars off the road.

We will post operational and maintenance updates here.

Teiges community benefit fund

Teiges Wind Farm operates a community benefit fund, which now totals nearly  £70,000 a year.  The annual fund is administered by the Fermanagh Trust on behalf of Energia.

The local Brookeborough preschool group, the Playstation, applied for a grant to help purchase new children’s furniture. 

Peter Baillie, Managing Director of Energia Renewables, says, “It’s great to see the wide range of community initiatives that our wind farm benefit fund is supporting. We want our funds to have a lasting legacy and, thanks to the Fermanagh Trust, we’re seeing more and more groups coming up with new project ideas to benefit the local community.”
