The proposed project will comprise of up to 8 wind turbines, with a tip height of up to 182m. It will have an installed capacity of circa 55 MW, which would generate enough electricity to power 43,000 homes per annum.

The site is located approximately 5.5km northwest of Gorey, situated within the 'Uplands' Landscape Unit as per the Landscape Character Assessment of the Wexford CDP 2022-2028.
If the wind farm is constructed, a community benefit fund will be established to support the residents living closest to the project. We will collaborate closely with the community to customise this financial support package, placing local individuals at the forefront of decision-making regarding its implementation and impact.
The proposed 8-turbine layout and turbine dimensions will be subject to change as the detailed environmental studies progress. The project will also include access tracks, a 110kV substation and ancillary infrastructure, a temporary construction compound, a meteorological mast, underground cabling and a grid connection which links the wind farm to the national electricity grid.
Regnum is currently in discussions with Coillte about the inclusion of sections of Coillte property in the proposal in addition to other third-party lands. If you have any Coillte related queries about the proposal, please contact: lsinfo@coillte.ie
