John Mullins eyes planning for first five Cork solar farms

A renewable energy company is set to lodge planning applications for the first of 35 solar farms in the coming weeks.

Irish company Amarenco is planning a €200m-plus investment in 35 farms, the first five of which will be built in Co Cork.

Amarenco founder John Mullins said planning applications would be lodged shortly with Cork County Council for five solar farms, which form the first phase of the development.
