The project appears to be a proposal to construct a wind turbine subject to achieving planning permission to do so. The promotion of renewable energy technologies is a key element of this Government's energy policy. My Department has support programmes in place directly and in cooperation with Sustainable Energy Ireland to increase the penetration of renewable energy technologies, which secure the necessary authorisations to do so. However, it is not the practice of my Department to comment on individual projects in the context of securing a planning decision.
