About the Project
The Design Team
Coolnakilla Renewable Energy Limited is a subsidiary of Atlantic Infrastructure Renewables (AIR), which is an Irish owned company based in Co. Limerick.
AIR invests in infrastructure projects across Ireland. Our projects help deliver high-quality infrastructure assets that are essential to society and the communities where they are located.
AIR helps bridge funding, capacity and delivery gaps and provides critical infrastructure ahead of when others might have been able to so.
High quality infrastructure serves societies in terms of contributing to economic growth, local jobs, and strong and vibrant communities.
AIR brings those advantages forward ahead of time, and ahead of when they would otherwise be available to those communities.

Coolnakilla Renewable Energy Farm
Plans for a green energy development are being investigated in Coolnakilla and surrounding areas in Co. Cork.
This is being investigated in the townlands of Coolnakilla, Glannagaul and Mullentaura, Co. Cork, in line with the Climate Action Plan and Government targets to establish Ireland as a carbon neutral country by 2050.
These lands have been identified as having potential to accommodate a renewable energy development and feasibility studies have been undertaken to assess the site’s potential over the past few years. This may include solar, wind and energy storage. It is envisaged that a planning application will be lodged with Cork County Council in the coming months for a solar element. The feasibility of a wind farm and battery energy storage continues to be considered.
