An enforcement notice has been issued by Galway County Council for what it considers is unauthorised development works in Abbeyknockmoy, Co Galway. The enforcement notice, given by Galway County Council to Kings Valley Farm Limited on March 16, claims unauthorised land clearance, pathways, and rock crushing on land in Oakwood South. If approved, the solar farm will be the largest in Ireland, owned by French-backed Irish company Power Capital Renewable Energy (PCRE). No enforcement notice has been issued to it. Pre-planning consultations were conducted in June 2025 for the 700 to 900 acres proposal of solar farm and battery energy storage systems.
