We are proposing to develop a wind farm near Fintona, Co. Tyrone comprising up to 10 turbines generating up to 60MW.
The turbines will have a maximum tip height of 180m. The project is located in an area identified in Fermanagh and Omagh District Council’s Wind Energy Strategy as having the ‘highest underlying capacity’ for development of renewable infrastructure.
In addition to the turbines themselves, the development of a wind farm comprises a number of principle components. These include hardstand areas and access roads, underground cables to transport the green electricity to the substation, borrow pits for the sourcing of rock on site and spoil management areas. In addition, turbine delivery route upgrades, an on-site substation and an underground electrical connection to the national electricity grid will be required.
We expect that the proposed development footprint would take up approximately 2% of the total site area for turbine bases, crane hardstands and access tracks, meaning much of the land area will not be required for the development.
This provides an opportunity for the remainder of the site to be used for other purposes, such as ongoing farming & biodiversity practices.
We may also consider co-locating a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at the site that could store excess green electricity and release it onto the grid when the wind isn't blowing.
The project will deliver a range of benefits, including;
- Providing enough clean energy to power around 65,000 average homes^
- Displacing almost 50,000 metric tonnes of carbon annually*
- Creating circa 50 jobs at peak construction
- Annual Community Benefit Fund of around £300,000
The project team plans to submit a planning application in Q2 2025.
