Wind Energy Potential
We are committed to leading the change to more sustainable use of resources in Bord na Móna. Wind energy is one of the solutions we are developing to create this change.
Bord na Móna lands extend to approximately 80,000 hectares in total and are located mainly in the Irish Midlands. In 2011, our ‘Strategic Framework for the Future Use of Peatlands’ considered how we could use our land resources for a sustainable future. We recognise that cutaway peatlands have significant potential for the development of wind energy.
The Wind Farm
The purpose of the Bruckana Wind Farm is to generate renewable electricity for the domestic electricity market in Ireland.
