six (6) wind turbines with a tip height of 158m, a rotor diameter of 136m and all associated foundations and hardstanding areas. A 38kV on-site substation compound containing a substation building, associated electrical equipment and transformers with separate client side and ESB entrances. The building will contain a control room, switchgear room, ESB room and store room, underground electrical and communications cabling between the wind turbines and on-site substation. Grid Connection Option A: 2.54km-long 38kV underground cable connection from the on-site substation to the existing Carrons substation to the west of the site. Grid Connection Option B: Loop into the existing 38kV onsite overhead line via the proposed 38kV substation. A new temporary site entrance off the L1219 local road to the west of the permanent site entrance for the construction phase only. Upgrade of an existing farm entrance and access track off the L1219 local road in the northwest of the site to serve as a permanent site entrance for the wind farm when operational. Approximately 3.4km of new site access tracks with associated turning areas and drainage. This includes approximately 490m of temporary access tracks which will be reinstated following construction. Upgrade of approximately 470m of existing site access tracks.
