Coole Hall will play host to a meeting on Wednesday.
A series of public consultation meetings will be held in Westmeath this week - in relation to a proposed new wind farm project.
It's the latest proposed development under Bord na Móna and SSE Renewables’ joint venture partnership.
The public consultation meetings will concern the Coolnagun Wind Farm.
It will be located on Bord na Móna’s landbank across the Coolnagun, Milkernagh and Coolcraff Bogs across Westmeath and Longford.
Meetings will take place in three locations across Westmeath - with the first taking place in Coole Hall this Wednesday.
A second meeting will be held in Multyfarnham - with a third meeting to be held in Streete Parish Park in Mullingar on December 4th.
Details of the upcoming public consultation events for the Coolnagun Wind Farm Project:
The aim of the public feedback is to develop a draft layout for the wind farm in the coming months - with further public consultation events to take place next year ahead of a planning application submission in 2026.
Karina Dennigan, Community Relations and Advocacy Manager for Bord na Móna, says:
"We invite all members of the local community to attend these important consultation sessions regarding the proposed wind farm project. These consultations are an essential part of the project, providing an opportunity for members of the community to meet the wider project team, share opinions and their views on the proposed development. The Community’s feedback is important in helping to ensure that the proposed wind farm is developed in a way that contributes positively to the local communities, local economies, and climate change. If delivered, Coolnagun Wind Farm would play a key role in supporting the supply of green electricity to our national grid and ultimately help Ireland achieve its ambitious climate targets for 2030 and beyond .”
