Cordal Wind Farm has planning permission for 28 turbines and it has secured grid capacity of 84 MW in 'Gate 2' and 'Gate 3' of the Group Processing Scheme run by the Commission for Energy Regulation (CER). When constructed, the project will generate almost 300 GWh of green electricity per year - enough to power at least 75,000 energy efficient homes. This would result in savings of approximately 225,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions per year. The project will commence construction in 2015 and is due to be energised in 2016.
