RES welcomes consent for Magheramore Wind Farm

RES has welcomed the decision to consent Magheramore Wind Farm, following a successful appeal. The Planning Appeal Commission held a hearing in April 2025, and took the decision to approve the 6-turbine wind farm, located near Dungiven, three months later.

Jennifer McCorry, Project Manager for RES said: “Magheramore has been carefully designed to fit sensitively into the existing landscape and we warmly welcome the decision today, 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 in Northern Ireland since the early 1990s. With over 50 employees based in Larne, RES continues to play an active part in Northern Ireland’s clean energy transition.

Further project updates will be available on this website in due course.
