Planning Application Submitted for 60 MW Onshore Wind Farm in Ireland

SSE has submitted a planning application to the Department for Infrastructure (DfI) for its proposed 60 MW Tattymoyle Wind Farm in County Tyrone.

The planning submission follows extensive environmental studies and reflects feedback from two rounds of public consultation conducted by SSE Renewables since autumn 2024 with local communities in Omagh, Fivemiletown and the wider south Tyrone area.

The proposed wind farm is located approximately 6.5km southwest of Fintona and would comprise up to ten turbines with a maximum tip height of 180 metres, capable of generating around 60 MW of new renewable electricity capacity.

Subject to receiving a positive planning decision, delivery and construction of Tattymoyle Wind Farm would be dependent on securing a grid connection and route to market, as well as a final investment decision by SSE.

Construction of the project would be expected to create more than 50 jobs at peak delivery, boosting local employment and supporting supply chain businesses across the region. Once operational, the project would contribute annual rates payments to Fermanagh and Omagh District Council, supporting essential local services. The wind farm would also provide a Community Benefit Fund supporting local groups, sports clubs, educational initiatives and community facilities throughout the project’s operational lifetime.
