Booltiagh 1 Wind Farm
County Clare
The Booltiagh site has a mean site elevation of 170 m and an average wind speed of 8.5metres/second. It lies approximately 15 km west of the Ennis in County Clare, mid way between the villages of Kilmalley and Kilmihil. The area is used extensively for commercial forestry and much of the turbines are sited in areas of young trees.
Booltiagh is now constructed and commissioned and is operating
under an Alternative Energy Requirement VI power contract.
