The Boggeragh Mountains project, described as the largest wind power plant in Ireland to date, is gaining momentum.
As per the information available, funding worth €100m has been marked for the project, which will generate about 162 GWh per annum – enough to satisfy the annual electricity need of more than 30,000 Irish households.
According to independent.ie, a consortium is providing the long-term finance for the construction of the 57-megawatt (MW) stand-alone wind energy site.
In a related development, Vestas has received an order for the delivery of 19 units of the V90-3.0 MW turbine for the Boggeragh Mountains project located in County Cork, Ireland.
The order has been placed by Green Energy Company Ltd and comprises supply, installation and commission of the turbines, a VestasOnline Business SCADA system as well as a long-term service agreement.
Delivery of the wind turbines is scheduled for the autumn of 2009.
Wind Prospect has already been appointed project managers for the Boggeragh Mountains Wind Farm.
