SSE Proposes Crumhach Wind Farm in West Sligo with 102MW Capacity
SSE is seeking planning approval for the Crumhach Wind Farm, which aims to replace two existing wind farms, significantly increasing energy capacity. The project would generate up to 102MW, tripling current renewable energy output in the area, and is expected to provide extensive community benefits and job opportunities.

SSE has submitted a planning application to An Coimisiún Pleanála for the Crumhach Wind Farm near Dromore West in County Sligo, intending to replace the Kingsmountain and Dunneill wind farms. The proposed wind farm will feature up to 17 turbines and a new 110kV substation, connecting to Ireland's grid through existing and new routes.
Planned community benefit funding will be linked to the farm's productivity, potentially delivering millions in support for local initiatives over its operational lifetime. Construction could create up to 100 jobs, with three full-time roles anticipated post-completion. The project underscores SSE's commitment to enhancing local infrastructure and renewable energy capacity in the region.
