The Mount Eagle Wind Farm is located just outside Castleisland, approximately 26km from Tralee in Co Kerry.
Mount Eagle was built in two phases: Mount Eagle I features six turbines (with a capacity of 5.1MW) and Mount Eagle II runs eight turbines (with a capacity of 1.7MW).
The wind farm features eight turbines with a combined generating capacity of 6.8 MW. It can generate enough renewable electricity to power around 4,300 households annually.
Each year, the operation of Mount Eagle wind farm off-sets the emission of more than 18,500 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2), equivalent to removing almost 5,000 cars from the road.
