Wind Energy projects in Ireland
Projects of this type consented directly by An Coimisiun Pleanala, the national planning body, rather than by a local council. They never appear on a council planning register, which is why they are easy to miss. Each one links to its public case file.
81 projects tracked
Most schemes of this kind never take this route. Another 151 applications sit on the council registers, which we track as well. A free account opens them.
