This project holds a grid connection offer

EirGrid's connection batches record an offer for this application with a maximum export capacity of 48.0 MW, connecting at the Ballyragget node. EirGrid lists it as Seskin Renewables Wind Farm, applicant Seskin Renewable Energy Ltd. The offer quarter is Q3 2026.

Source: ECP-GSS-1 Final Batch, May 2026. Matched to this application by the planning reference EirGrid publishes, confirmed against the county. An offer is a place in the connection process, not a connection: it does not mean the project is built or generating.

Grid

Nearest substation: BALLYCONRA (38 kV), 1.89 km away.
Association: The application names BALLYRAGGET as its connection point.
Available capacity: 8.5 MW of firm generation capacity available at BALLYRAGGET.

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.
