The first large scale open solar farm in Wicklow.
An chéad fheirm ghréine ar scála mór oscailte i gCill Mhantáin.
The first large – scale solar farm in the State opened today.
Osclaíodh an chéad fheirm ghréine ar scála mór sa Stát inniu.
The ‘Millvale Farm’ is located on 25 hectares near Ashford in County Wicklow.
Tá an fheirm ‘Millvale Farm’ lonnaithe ar 25 heictéar in aice le hÁth na Fuinseoige i gContae Chill Mhantáin.
The farm will have the potential to supply as much energy to the national grid as it can power up to 3,600 homes a year.
Beidh sé d’acmhainn ag an bhfeirm an oiread fuinnimh a sholáthar don eangach náisiúnta is a chuirfeadh cumhacht ar fáil do suas le 3,600 teach in aghaidh na bliana.
This farm is one of a number of solar projects planned under the Government’s Renewable Energy Support Scheme.
Tá an fheirm seo ar cheann do roinnt tograí gréine atá beartaithe faoi Scéim tacaíochta fuinnimh inathnuaite an Rialtais.
Minister Eamon Ryan said today that the scheme is one of the key policies set out in the Program for Government and the Climate Action Plan in an effort to address Ireland’s climate challenge in the coming years.
Dúirt an tAire Eamon Ryan inniu go bhfuil an scéim ar cheann do na príomh pholasaithe atá leagtha amach i gClár an Rialtais agus sa Phlean Gníomhaithe ar son na hAeráide in iarracht dul i ngleic le dúshlán aeráide na hÉireann sna blianta atá le teacht.
