The solar energy application covers a 38-acre site, about 6km to the north-east of the town. Applicant, Reeve Wave Ltd which is based at Lissarda, Co Cork, has already lodged plans for solar energy farms in Co Tipperary and Co Cork.

The commercial solar energy market here is still in its infancy with applications granted for a 10MW solar facility in Co Kildare in June, a 5MW solar facility in Co Wexford, while planning has also been granted for a solar farm at Knockglass town lands, Coachford, Co Cork, and another at Lissarda, near Macroom.
