Yellow River Wind Farm
Yellow River Wind Farm is a 29-turbine wind farm development in County Offaly in Ireland’s Midlands with an installed capacity of 101MW.
We began construction on the wind farm in October 2022 and expect the project to be fully operational in early 2025. The project has supported approximately 150 full-time construction jobs at peak delivery. The final wind turbine was installed in June 2024.
Once completed, the windfarm will be capable of generating enough green energy to power the equivalent of approximately ^66,000 homes and offset *67,000 metric tonnes of carbon annually. This will help Ireland meet its target of 80% renewable energy by 2030, as set out under the Climate Action Plan of 2024.
