“Corlacky Hill will help us achieve the rapid energy transition required, with the electricity produced able to supply approximately 29,000 households with clean, low cost electricity.

The benefits of wind energy to Northern Ireland consumers are clear. A recent study by Baringa Partners, has shown that renewable electricity from wind has delivered a payback of £4 to every consumer, every year, since the year 2000 – driving down wholesale costs and reducing fuel imports.

RES is the world’s largest independent renewable energy company, active in onshore and offshore wind, solar, energy storage, transmission and distribution. In its 39-year history, RES has delivered more than 19GW of renewable energy projects across the globe.
