Drumnahough Wind Farm

The onshore wind development, which will comprise 12 turbines with a maximum tip height of 167.5m, is in the rural uplands of Donegal, 13km from Letterkenny and located within the townlands of Treankeel, Meenadaura, Carrickalangan and Cark.

The project represents a capital investment of around €60 million by co-developers SSE Renewables and FuturEnergy Ireland. This spend will help support the regional supply chain through the use of local contractors and suppliers where possible. During construction, Drumnahough Wind Farm will generate approximately 60 jobs.

In addition to delivering significant energy security and climate action benefits for Ireland, Drumnahough Wind Farm will make a significant positive impact locally. A sponsorship fund will be initially available during the pre-construction and construction phases of the wind farm. A substantial Community Benefit Fund will become available to support local groups and organisations once the project enters commercial operation. Further details on the Community Benefit Fund will be available prior to the commencement of construction.

Over the lifetime of the project many millions of euro in annual commercial rates will be made to Donegal County Council, contributing substantial funds to local services.
