Slieve Divena Wind Farm, County Tyrone

Planning permission for a wind farm on Slieve Divena, near Sixmilecross Co Tyrone, was granted in March 2007. It is estimated that the ten turbines will generate electricity equivalent to the needs of around 14,000 homes every year.

The project is being built by Renewable Energy Systems Construction Ltd, using local company WH Alexander Construction Ltd of Omagh to undertake the civil works. Construction commenced in July 2007 and is due to complete in early 2009.

The planning application, accompanied by a full environmental statement, was made in 2005 and was preceded by a six-month public information programme for the local community and their representatives, involving public exhibitions, door-to-door visits, letters and press releases.
