for development at this site measuring c. 1.42 Ha located within the townland of Booltiagh, Ennis, Co. Clare. The development seeks to amend the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) development permitted under ref. 23/60414 and the existing permanent 110kV Booltiagh Substation permitted under ref. 00/567 (ACP ref. 120616) amended by ref. 11/340, which are both co-located with the existing and operational Booltiagh wind farm. There are no proposed amendments to the permitted and operational wind farm. The amendments to the permitted BESS will consist of the excavation and removal of 0.36Ha of peat within the proposed fenced BESS enclosure area and the import of equivalent amount of stone to level the site; a revised BESS enclosure to occupy a reduced footprint and layout for the construction and operation of reduced battery array units (32 nos.) with built in inverters resulting in the exclusion of permitted standalone inverters; a revised control & SCADA room, inclusion of 2 no. auxiliary transformer units, 1 no. storage container, and 1 no. standby generator and fuel tank; replacement of permitted MVA transformers with 8 no. MVA Skids (transformers and switchgear); and a revised gated access point and roads; and the installation of a 230m long 20kV underground interconnector cable to connect the BESS control and SCADA room to the existing 110kV Booltiagh substation. The amendments to the permitted 110kV substation will consist of the replacement of the grid transformer in the IPP compound including 110kV circuit breaker, combined CT/VT, disconnector, earth switch and surge arrestors, two post insulators, two auxiliary transformers, one house transformer, one generator and diesel tank and underground cabling trenching; and revisions to permitted ancillary infrastructure layout including security fencing, lighting, lightening masts, two interface kiosks, and CCTV. This application seeks a 10-year duration of planning permission and 35-year duration of operational lifetime of the permitted BESS infrastructure. This development is covered by the provisions of the Renewable Energy Directive III (Directive (EU) 2023/2413) and it is important to note that the planning application may be subject to section 34D of the Planning and Development Act 2000, as amended. When a notice issues in accordance with section 34D(b), the provisions of article 26A of the Planning and Development Regulations 2001 to 2025 shall apply

is sought for the continued operation of the existing Booltiagh Wind Farm as permitted by An Bord Pleanala Ref: 03.120616 (Clare County Council Pl. Ref: 00/567) for a further period of 10 years from the date of the expiry of the current planning permission (30th September 2025) per Condition no. 2 of the consent issued and for the decommissioning of the wind farm at the end of that further period. The proposed development development does not comprise any modifications to the existing operational wind farm. The proposed development comprises: a) 12 no. existing GE Energy 1.5 Megawatt (MW) wind turbines with a maximum overall blade tip height of 90 metres (m) including hardstands; b) Existing site access tracks and car parking spaces; c) all existing associated underground electrical and communications cabling connecting the turbines to onsite substation (onsite substation consented under ABP 03.120616, amended and made permanent under Pl. Ref: 11/34, and amended under ABP 03.245273; d) Existing gated site entrance from Creegh - Kilmaley local road; e) Existing site drainage; f) All existing ancillary infrastructure, associated site fencing and signage; and g) Implementation of a decommissioning plan. All elements of the wind farm are pre-existing and it is not proposed to make any alterations to the current site layout, wind turbines or associated infrastructure as part of this application. an Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIAR) accompanies the planning application
