Global Wind Projects has announced the completion of its first onshore wind project in Ireland.

The company has contracts to install and provide M&E services for client, Nordex, at wind farms in Galway, Mayo and Offaly.

Works began in County Galway in December 2022 and were recently completed. As the first of the three contracts, Global Wind Project installed 19 N149 turbines at the RockGrid owned 101MW Ardderroo Wind Farm.

Global Wind Projects will install a further five onshore wind turbines for Nordex at ABO Wind Ireland's Sheskin Wind Farm in County Mayo and 29 at SSE's Yellow River Wind Farm in County Offaly.

Ryan Burke, General Manager at Global Wind Projects said: "We are delighted to have made a successful first foray into the Irish market. At Ardderroo it was pleasing to be able to mobilise our team at short notice to assist a valued, long-term client."

"This contract, and the two follow on projects, will see us mobilise a team of 40 personnel to sites in Galway, Mayo and Offaly and in due course we will establish a separate Irish entity to service the growing market there."

Graham Pogson, Director of Projects at Nordex UK and Ireland, stated: "Building on the success of projects last year within Scotland, Nordex are looking forward to working with Global Wind Projects across several projects in Ireland throughout 2023 and 2024."
