Innogy has acquired the 10.2MW Dromadda Beg wind farm in Ireland and is to start construction of what will be its first onshore project in the country in September.
The German company said commissioning is planned for the second half of 2018 with three turbines featuring 144.5 metre tip heights to be installed in County Kerry.
Innogy Ireland managing director Cathal Hennessy said the developer is still on the hunt for more acquisitions in the country.
“We have recently appointed four new members of staff into our Irish team, with more to come,” he said.
“We plan to grow our onshore wind business to include greenfield developments and consented sites right through to the acquisition of operational wind farms and we are excited to play a key role in supporting Ireland to deliver its renewable energy targets.”
