Knockastanna Wind Farm
Knockastanna Wind Farm is located in Co. Limerick near to the border with Co. Tipperary and the village of Doon.
The 6MW wind farm has four turbines and entered commercial operation in 2009.
It provides enough clean green renewable energy to power almost 4000 homes^ every year and helps abate almost 4232KG of harmful carbon dioxide* per annum.
The Knockastanna Community Fund launched in 2010. So far over €171,721 has been presented to groups around the wind farm.
Knockastanna Wind Farm was granted planning permission in July 2003. In 2024, the wind farm received permission to extend its operational life by a further 15 years up until 2038 to continue the provision of renewable energy and continue its contribution towards Ireland climate change targets.
