Innogy has officially opened the over 10MW Dromadda Beg wind farm in County Kerry, Ireland, its first such project in the country.
The facility features three Siemens Gamesa 3.4MW turbines and started operating at the end of 2018, the company said.
Innogy chief operating officer Hans Bunting said: “I am pleased to officially open Dromadda Beg wind farm – our first project in Ireland.
“These three wind turbines are the proof that our decision for the Irish market entrance three years ago was the right one.
“We plan further long-term investments in this promising wind market, supporting the Irish government to achieve its climate change and renewable energy targets.”
Innogy has also finished construction of the 32.8MW Mynydd y Gwair wind farm in Wales and will start operations soon at the 26.65MW Bad a Cheo project in Scotland.
Bad a Cheo features 13 Senvion MM92 machines, which have all been installed, while ongoing commissioning and reinstatement works are taking place on the 16-turbine Mynydd y Gwair project, it added.
The first of 27 turbines is also due to be installed later this month at the 96MW Clocaenog Forest wind farm in North Wales, Innogy said.
In 2018, the company partnered with Saorgus Energy to continue development work on the planned 600MW Dublin Array offshore wind farm in the Irish Sea.
