Bord na Móna has many sites with high potential for grid connectivity and low environmental impact. The development team has commenced a number of work streams including the deployment of a solar resource assessment station at Ballykean bog, and will progress development work on a demonstration project during 2016.
The business areas that Bord na Móna and Coillte will work together on are: biomass supply, wind energy, shared services, and tourism and recreation. Senior management and project directors from both Coillte and Bord na Móna are working together on a joint steering committee to oversee the programme of work.
