Overview: ballyfeeny Green Energy

  • Ireland faces an extraordinary challenge to move its energy system from one  based primarily on fossil fuel to one predominately powered by renewable energy. We believe that wind energy will play a central role in Ireland’s transition to a low-carbon economy by 2050.
  • We are proposing a wind energy project featuring up to 6 turbines on a site in the townlands of Tully and Ballyfeeny, Co. Roscommon.
  • The site was selected following extensive local examination, taking into account the proximity to residential properties, natural heritage, landscape and visual impacts, archaeology, hydrology, and many other considerations.
  • Ballyfeeny Green Energy are currently in discussions with Coillte about the inclusion of sections of Coillte property in the proposal in addition to other third party lands. If you have any Coillte related queries about the proposal, please contact lsinfo@coillte.ie
