Dunneill Wind Farm
Dunneill Wind Farm is located near Dromorewest, Co. Sligo.
The 11MW wind farm comprises 13 turbines and entered commercial operation in 2010. Dunneill can power almost 7,500 homes^ and help abate around 9,000 tonnes of harmful carbon dioxide* per annum.
Dunneill was granted planning permission in March 2004 to expire in 2024, a period of 20 years. In 2023, Dunneill Wind Farm received planning permission to extend its operational life by a further 15 years to 2039.
SSE Renewables is exploring the potential for a new wind energy and battery project at the site of the existing Dunneill and Kingsmountain wind farms in County Sligo, the proposed Crumhach Wind Farm. For more information, please click here.
