RES welcomes consent for Magheramore wind farm

The Planning Appeal Commission held a hearing in April 2025 and took the decision to approve the six-turbine wind farm, located near Dungiven.

Jennifer McCorry, Project Manager for RES, responded: “Magheramore has been carefully designed to fit sensitively into the existing landscape and we warmly welcome the decision, which unlocks much-needed investment in the local economy.”

RES has a strong track record of working with the supply chain around its projects to maximise inward investment, and Magheramore wind farm has the potential to deliver a £1.6 – £2 million boost into the local economy during construction alone.

RES has been playing a pivotal role in developing, constructing, and operating renewable energy projects from its office in Larne, Northern Ireland since the early 1990s. With a wealth of experience across a wide range of disciplines, RES continues to play an active part in Northern Ireland’s clean energy transition.
