Newry
The third site is located 4km west of Newry (Northern Ireland). Planning permissions have been granted (Reference P/2012/0284/F). The Newry Project qualifies for the NIRO (Northern Ireland Renewables Obligation) under the “approved development” criteria. The installed turbine will be a Vestas V29 (De-Rated to 225 kW) and was commissioned on 29/03/18.
The turbine is to be operated at a power level of 225kW. The site is estimated to produce an annual average wind speed of circa 6.48 m/s. This, in theory, will produce an annual yield of circa 488,000 kWh.
The wind turbine site is in single land ownership,and is subject to a 25-year lease agreement. A grid connection offer has been made and accepted to NIE’s (Northern Ireland Electricity) 11kV network. The project is planned to be constructed and commissioned by Q1 2018.
