Templederry Community Windfarm is Ireland’s first community owned windfarm. The Group finalised a grid connection agreement from the National Grid Operator having received planning permission for the erection of 3x1.3 MW wind turbines in June 2003 and again in 2010 for 2×2.3 MW. The group started producing green electricity and selling it to the grid in November 2012. It is proposed that the project will be 100% owned by the local community with dividends from the project being re-invested to support other community activities. Templederry community is located on the northern edge of the Slieve Felim mountains. It is located between the main urban centers of Nenagh (north) and Thurles (south) in Co. Tipperary. It is suffering from population decline and there are limited local employment opportunities hence this could be an opportunity to revive the local community.
