The project covers a 36.82-hectare irregular greenfield site located within a “Class 1 – Low Sensitivity” landscape under the Galway County Development Plan. The design incorporates a full biodiversity management plan, landscape enhancements, and the managed removal of only limited hedgerow or stone wall sections where required to accommodate the layout.
The project aligns with County Galway Development Plan policies LARES 3, RE 1, RE 4, and CC 2, supporting renewable generation and Ireland’s transition to a low-carbon economy. Moyvilla Solar Farm will connect to the permitted Moyveela 110 kV substation, contributing to the region’s growing renewable energy infrastructure.
