In 2024, Bord na Móna and SSE Renewables, two leading low-carbon energy providers, announced their formation of a joint venture to develop a series of onshore wind energy projects. This partnership will deliver up to 800MW of new renewable energy generation for Ireland.
As part of this joint venture, Bord na Móna and SSE Renewables are proposing to develop a wind farm on Kilberry Bog in County Kildare. The proposed wind farm will be known as Kilberry Wind Farm. As the project is at a very early stage, the proposed number, location and height of turbines have not yet been determined.
The joint venture partnership is fully committed to informing and engaging with you through an active communication programme. As part of this, we have appointed a Community Engagement and Stakeholder Team including a designated Community Liaison Officer, James (087-7087022), to engage with local communities and residents. At this stage of the project, we are seeking feedback from the community on the proposed intention to develop a wind farm on this bog.
Public Events
A series of Community Engagement Sessions are planned for March 2025 for members of the public to discuss the proposed wind farm with the project team.
