The Wind Farm

The development of Cloncreen Wind Farm involves an investment by Bord na Móna of over €100m in low carbon electricity generation infrastructure in Co. Offaly.  The project will make a significant contribution to the achievement of Ireland’s 80% renewable electricity target by 2030. It is one of the largest projects to clear in the RESS-1 auction.

Sensory Garden @ Cloncreen Wind Farm

The Cloncreen project team has completed a new Sensory Garden at the Cloncreen Wind Farm.  The garden was developed to provide children and adults alike with the opportunity to gain physical and mental stimulation while being in an outdoor environment, and is a refuge for everyone to enjoy and to explore all that nature has to offer.
