Yellow River Wind Farm

Yellow River Wind Farm is a 29-turbine wind farm in County Offaly in Ireland’s Midlands with an installed capacity of 101MW.
We began construction on the wind farm in October 2022 and completed the project in 2025. The project has supported approximately 150 full-time construction jobs at peak delivery. The final wind turbine was installed in June 2024.
Yellow River Wind Farm can generate enough homegrown renewable energy to power the equivalent of almost 75,000 Irish homes annually, while offsetting nearly 70,000 metric tonnes of carbon emissions each year*, supporting Ireland’s Climate Action Plan, contributing to the country’s 2030 renewable energy and decarbonisation targets, and enhancing energy security.
