A planning application for a new solar farm capable of creating enough energy to power 4,500 homes has been submitted to Wexford County Council (WCC). The proposed development would be located adjacent to the existing 18 turbine Richfield Wind Farm in Millbrook in the south of the county which has been in operation since 2006.
SSE Renewables is this week submitting a planning application for a proposed Solar Farm project to be co-located adjacent to its existing Richfield Wind Farm in Ireland’s ‘Sunny South East’. The planning application, which is being submitted to Wexford County Council, proposes the development of a circa 21MW solar photovoltaic (PV) array on a 44 hectare site in the townlands of Hooks and Yoletown in south Wexford. The proposed solar farm location is near the existing 18 turbine Richfield Wind Farm which has been in operation since 2006. Submission of a planning application follows a period of local public consultation on the project, which took place earlier this year.
