Holy Family National School in Templetoughy, Thurles visited Lisheen wind farm last week to celebrate Global Wind Day.
Tipperary students were recently invited to tour a windfarm in the county to celebrate Global Wind Day this month.
To celebrate Global Wind Day on June 15, renewable energy company Ørsted welcomed children from Holy Family National School, Templetoughy, Thurles to its windfarm in Lisheen.
The windfarm stretches across the Tipperary/Kilkenny border and has been in operation since 2023.
Students were given an opportunity to meet site supervisors and engineers to find out more about how wind farms operate.
Comprised of three sites, Lisheen wind farm generates a combined 89 MW of green energy, making it Ørsted’s largest wind farm in Ireland.
Ørsted currently has 21 wind farms in operation across Ireland.
