Solar at Kildare Town

Site north of St. Brigid's Primary School's sports ground , South of Abbey Villa Monasterevin , Nurney Road Kildare Tourist Outlet Village

This application's address does not name a town or townland, so it is listed under Kildare Town because that is the nearest area we track — 0.6 km away. That is a distance we measured, not a location the planning record states.

Grid

Nearest substation: KILDARE (38 kV), 1.01 km away.
Association: Nothing states a connection point and the place name does not match a station, but KILDARE is only 1.01 km away — close enough that it is usually, though not always, where a project like this connects. Counted separately from the match rate.
Available capacity: 15.3 MW of firm generation capacity available at KILDARE.

A nearest substation is a measurement of distance, not a statement of where this project will connect. Where a link is published it is because the application names the station, or because the project's own place name matches it and the two are close enough for that to mean something.

Own land near one of these?

We track every solar, wind and battery application in the national planning register — and the large ones made directly to An Coimisiun Pleanala, which never reach a council register at all — as they move through planning, and which substations still have capacity to take a connection. If you want to be told when something is lodged near your land, leave an email address.

Email us to be added to the list — we will only use it to send project alerts for the areas you name.

No lease rates or valuations are published here, and nothing on this site is an offer or a recommendation.
