What does Eirforce offer landowners?

Eirforce works with landowners to develop wind farms from concept through to production. Typically, a project would involve the following phases:

Phase 1

The process commences with the identification of suitable sites and agreement in principle between Eirforce Wind Energy Limited and the landowner. Following on from this a Desk Study of the site is carried out to establish if the assessment criteria are met and if any economic power generation potential exists.

Phase 2

If the initial study gives positive indications then a formal agreement is signed between Eirforce Wind Energy Limited and the landowner.

Phase 3

Eirforce prepares a detailed feasibility study, which covers issues such as Wind-Mapping assessment, liaison with Local Authority, investigation of any potential restrictive factors, ground conditions, ease of access to National Grid etc.

Phase 4

Subject to the outcome of the detailed feasibility study the go ahead is given to our experienced team of qualified experts (including Specialist Wind Energy consultants, Archaeologists, Geotechnical Engineers, Town Planning consultants and Topographical Surveyors) who will put together a comprehensive Planning Application and Grid Connection Application taking into consideration all the relevant issues which must be dealt with.

Phase 5

Subject to Planning and Grid connection approval, Eirforce Wind Energy Limited will put together the complete technical and financial package to fund and build the wind farm development. Our expert team draws on years of experience in this area and a comprehensive programme combining the financial, engineering, equipment procurement and installation expertise means that the project is managed from the outset right through to completion and connection to the National Grid.

Phase 6

Upon completion the wind farm will by managed and maintained by Eirforce Wind Energy Ltd. The landowner enjoys an ongoing source of income whilst retaining ultimate ownership of their land.
