Any proposed projects resulting in the expansion of Ireland’s wind energy sector will be subject to the Planning Acts, including the requirements for public consultation.

In addition, a technical review of the Wind Energy Guidelines is being overseen by officials from the Department of Environment, Community and Local Government, my Department and the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland. The review will be completed later this year.
