RWE Renewables Proposes Muingmore Windfarm in Erris, Mayo
RWE Renewables Ireland Ltd plans to develop the Muingmore Onshore Windfarm near Geesala, comprising 13 turbines. Local opposition is evident, with concerns over environmental impact and community fatigue from existing developments.

RWE Renewables Ireland Ltd has proposed the Muingmore Onshore Windfarm, located approximately 11km west of Bangor Erris and 4km north of Geesala. The project plans to include 13 turbines, an electrical substation, underground cabling, and a battery storage facility.
Local councillor Gerry Coyle expressed concern over the placement of a project notice on an electric pole, questioning the regard for safety and community sentiment. Community groups have raised objections, citing fatigue from prior windfarm developments in the scenic Erris area. This could potentially escalate local dissent and affect future renewable energy projects in the region.
