Concerns over energy security (Ireland has an estimated 15.4m tonnes of coal reserves, peat bogs, offshore oil and gas fields, and has extensive wind resources), climate change mitigation policies, and compliance with EU Directives for market liberalization, have all shaped wind power development in Ireland.
Power from the turbines is transmitted to the national grid via a 110kV substation located at Meentycat, [citation needed] a 5km 110kV overhead line and a 110kV substation at Drumkeen to the east of the wind farm. [citation needed] As of 2009, it was the largest wind farm (by electricity generated) in Ireland. [5]
