75MW solar farm in Creggs, Co. Galway secures planning permission
Set to be one of the largest solar farm developments in Ireland once complete, our planners worked hand-in-hand with Elgin Energy to prepare, manage, and submit a comprehensive planning application which was granted by Galway County Council.
We are pleased to share that Elgin Energy's 75 MW solar farm project in Creggs, Co. Galway has recently secured planning permission.
Our planners worked hand-in-hand with Elgin Energy to prepare, manage, and submit a comprehensive planning application for this development, which resulted in the approval issued by Galway County Council.
This solar farm development will be one of the largest in Ireland once complete, playing a crucial role in supporting the country's transition to a low-carbon future, improving grid stability and boosting our clean energy capabilities.
The project will involve the installation of ground mounted solar panels and frames in rows, cabling & electrical infrastructure including approximately 18 inverter stations. It will have an operational lifespan of 40 years.
The 10-year planning permission was granted by Galway County Council with 16 conditions attached. We look forward to seeing the project progress on-site in the coming months.
