Lissinagroagh Wind Farm Grid Connection and Sub Station Application Open for Submissions

Leitrim County Council has opened a public consultation on a proposed wind farm grid connection and a 110 kV sub‑station in County Leitrim. The consultation will remain open until 16 October 2026, giving residents, businesses and other stakeholders the opportunity to submit comments and concerns about the project.

The proposal involves a new 32 km connection to the national grid for the North Leitrim wind farm, which would bring additional renewable energy capacity to the region. The sub‑station, planned to operate at 110 kV, would serve as a key node for integrating the wind farm’s output into the wider electricity network.

The council’s announcement, published on its website, outlines the technical aspects of the connection and the sub‑station, and invites public participation in the decision‑making process. While the project is still in the consultation phase, the council has not yet confirmed final approval or the exact timeline for construction. Stakeholders are encouraged to review the detailed information available on the council’s site and to submit any feedback before the consultation deadline.

The initiative is part of Leitrim’s broader efforts to support renewable energy and reduce carbon emissions, aligning with national climate action goals. By engaging the community early, the council aims to address any environmental, visual or infrastructural concerns that may arise.

For further details and to submit comments, residents can visit the Leitrim County Council website. The original announcement can be found on the council’s news page.
