Plans for a 7-turbine wind farm southwest of Carrig village in Co Tipperary are being progressed. The proposed Carrig Renewables Wind Farm will generate enough electricity to supply almost 32,000 homes, which is equivalent to 54% of the households in Co Tipperary according to the most recent census data.

The wind farm is being proposed in the townlands of Arraghmore, Cloncorig, Clonfinane, Coolderry, Faddan More and Sharragh, southwest of Carrig, Co Tipperary in line with Government targets to establish Ireland as a carbon neutral country by 2050. These lands have been identified as having potential to accommodate a wind farm development and feasibility studies have been undertaken to assess the site’s potential over the past few years. It is envisaged that a planning application will be lodged with Tipperary County Council in mid-2023.
