Fuel: Wind
Capacity: 20 MW
Commissioned: 2015
Technology: 5 Nordex (N100-2.5MW) Turbines and 3 Nordex (N90-2.5MW) Turbines
When officially commissioned on September 13th, 2015 our newest wind farm; Woodhouse brought our total operational fleet to 409 MW.
The wind farm lies on the slopes of Knocknamona hill part of the distinctive Drum Hills located in the town land of Kereen about 10km west of the coastal harbour town of Dungarvan, County Waterford.
Woodhouse features 8 turbines with a combined generating capacity of 20 MW. It can generate enough renewable electricity to power around 12,700 households a year, which equates to some 30% of County Waterford.
Each year, the operation of Woodhouse Wind Farm off-sets the emission of more than 54,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide (Co2) equivalent to removing 14,500 cars from the roads.
See how this wind farm was constructed.
We believe hydrogen produced from renewable electricity will play a critical role in the decarbonisation of many sectors.
