Ireland - Windfarm energy ‘is the key to alternative power’ -by Ed Micheau

When SWS Group’s 45-megawatt (MW) windfarm project in Kilgarvan, Co Kerry, is fully commissioned in the next few weeks, it will have the capacity to light up 30,000 homes in the county. The Kilgarvan project will be the group’s largest windfarm electricity plant to date, but it will be overtaken in size once SWS’ planned 87MW windfarm in Knockacummer, north Cork, is up and running in the next couple of years.

By the time SWS has spent a further €260 million on wind energy, the west Cork group will have capacity to light up 130,000 homes.
