The five turbines will also be more than twice the height of Liberty Hall, but will be lower than the two 228m  chimney stacks at the coal-burning station in Kilimer.

The wind farm is part of  plans by Electric Ireland’ – formerly the ESB-  to deliver a third of its electricity from renewable sources by 2020, which will include more than 1,400MW of wind generation.
