€23m Kerry windfarm starts supplying Energia

KERRY’S latest windfarm has gone operational in the north of the county supplying 13.3 MW of green electricity to business energy supplier, Energia.

The €23 million project is located over three sites in north Kerry’s Stacks Mountains and Castleisland. When operating to full capacity, it will produce enough energy to supply electricity to 14,000 homes. It is 10 years since Trá Investments’ plans for the project were first submitted to Kerry County Council.

Chairman of Trá Investments, Brendan Walsh, said it marks a major step forward for Trá Investments and for its stakeholders who “met many challenges along the way”.
