RES has submitted a planning application for the 14-turbine Ballygilbert wind farm in Northern Ireland.
Ballygilbert, which would be located approximately three kilometres north west of Cairncastle, would be capable of generating electricity for approximately 61,900 homes.
RES said it has been estimated that £10.41m (€12m) will be realised in the Northern Ireland economy during construction alone and a further £13.79m in rates to support the provision of essential services for residents, during the operational life of the wind farm.
The company added that, over the previous 18 months, it has been gathering environmental and technical information about the site and has received valuable feedback during the public consultation.
The results of the environmental work, together with the consultation feedback, has been used to inform the detailed design of the proposed wind farm, RES said.
RES senior development manager Jennifer McCorry said: “The renewables industry continues to invest in Northern Ireland, supporting jobs and local businesses.
“As we emerge from the current health and economic crisis, with the continued threat of climate change, it is more important than ever that we invest in a green economic recovery.
“Ballygilbert could deliver £24.2m of investment in the form of jobs, contracts for local businesses and rates to support the vital local services that we all depend on.
“The project would also produce clean electricity at least cost for consumers and help us tackle climate change.”
