Plans for a Galway wind farm have now ended up before the Commercial Court. Photograph: iStockA wind farm developer claims that two companies have failed to honour an agreement to facilitate access to privately-owned land in Co Galway where an 11-turbine facility is planned. In an affidavit, Ciaran Donnelly, managing director of GP Joule, said Greencastle owns 100 per cent of the Clonberne Wind Farm Ltd, which holds the rights to the wind farm. Two years after the agreement was entered, there remained insurmountable impediments to the completion of the transaction, he said. The claim was rejected by the defendants which also argued GP Joule requested new option agreements from the landowners, fully aware of the delays it would cause.
