The wind farm is owned by Energia Renewables and the Irish Infrastructure Fund. Managing Director of Energia Renewables , Peter Baillie, said: "We want to extend a big thank you to the local community for the support it has given this project. The development of Caherdowney is a very positive step forward for renewable energy in Ireland and local support for the project is a key element to their success."
