The Managing Director of renewable energy firm, Strategic Power Projects has said the concerns of a few should not stop national projects from happening.

Paul Carson has confirmed that Strategic Power Projects currently has renewable energy projects, made up of solar farms and battery storage energy schemes, granted planning permission with a combined value of €700 million to €750 million.

A question mark now lies over the planning permission with a third party, 'Two Mile House Says No’ seeking a High Court judicial review of the An Bord Pleanála permission. He said delays to projects not only cost the developer but also the country in terms of missing renewable energy targets. Mr Carson said that"there is probably a need for another 20 Dunnstowns to ensure that the grid is well covered".The Dunnstown proposal was granted planning permission on October 3rd last and Mr Carson explained as grid connections can only be applied for with planning permission between September 1st and September 30th that has delayed the progress of the project by one year.
