SSE Renewables will rebrand the Braymore Wind Park as the Setanta Wind Park.
This follows a public consultation with local communities in Louth, Meath and North Dublin earlier this year.
The feedback, which was received during the public consultation for the proposed wind park earlier this year, found that the existing name was not identifiable with the wider communities that the wind park covered.
The new name will better reflect the region in which the project is situated, while highlighting local folklore and history.
The name Setanta was the given name of one of the great champions of the ancient Irish sagas, Cu Chulainn, who dominates as a giant of Irish mythology. Setanta was the name used until he was bestowed with the warrior badge-of-honour title Cu Chulainn.
The proposed Setanta Wind Park site is situated off the northeast coast of Ireland in the Irish Sea between Dunany Point in County Louth at its most northern point and Braymore Point in County Dublin and secured a foreshore licence to facilitate surveys of the seabed to enhance understanding of the prevailing conditions at the site.
Once operational, Setanta Wind Park will be capable of generating up to 1GW of renewable energy, powering over 1m homes and offsetting up to 1bn kgs of carbon annually.
Martin Sweeney, Lead Project Manager for Setanta Wind Park at SSE Renewables, said: “We have taken the decision to rebrand from Braymore to Setanta Wind Park following extensive consultation with local communities and to better reflect the communities involved with the project.
“We have consulted with local historians and communities to find a better fitting name for the project site which represents all the areas involved and we are excited to announce the new name today. Setanta Wind Park will provide clean, renewable energy for the local communities and Ireland as a whole, provide employment opportunities and help support Ireland reach its net-zero emissions goal as we tackle climate change.”
