The proposed Dunnaree Hill Wind Farm will have an output of between 21.6 MW and 28.8 MW. If developed, it will contribute to Fermanagh and Omagh District Council’s and Northern Ireland’s fight against climate change by generating enough renewable electricity to power between 24,899 and 31,459 homes per annum; and removing between 34,563 and 43,659 tonnes of CO2 emissions per annum.
More renewable energy projects are needed in Northern Ireland to help achieve the renewable electricity consumption target of at least 80 % by 2030 as set out in the Climate Change (Northern Ireland) Act 2022.

The Dunnaree Hill Wind Farm is located at lands at Dunnaree Hill, approximately 290 metres west of 45 Drumscra Road and lands adjacent and east of 8 Glenbane Road, Drumquin, approximately 1.2km northwest of Dooish, Co. Tyrone. For reference, please see the site location plan provided below.
The project will include 6 wind turbines (maximum blade tip height of 150m), crane pads, substation building and compound, access tracks, underground cables, temporary construction compound, spoil storage areas, blade storage, delivery route junction improvements, access onto Glenbane Road and Drumscra Road and all associated ancillary site works.
This webpage is part of an on-going consultation process being carried out by ABO Energy with members of the local community and other interested parties to inform the submission of a planning application for the Dunnaree Hill Wind Farm project.
We would encourage everyone with an interest in the project to give us their feedback. To do this you can use the following methods:
| Website | www.dunnareehillwindfarm.com (Feedback section open from 22 October – 22 November 2025) |
|
Post |
Dunnaree Hill Wind Farm |
| dunnareehillwindfarm@belmont.online |
To be considered during the design process, feedback must be received by 22nd November 2025.
If you have any queries regarding the information presented as part of this community consultation process, please contact us directly using the details provided.
Belmont – ABO Energy’s communication and engagement partner on this project – can also be contacted via telephone on +44 28 9072 6059 between the hours of 10am - 4pm, Monday - Friday.
Please note: Any comments made to ABO Energy and/or the project team during this pre-application community consultation process are not representations to the planning authority. If a formal planning application is submitted, local advertisement and neighbour notification will take place and there will be an opportunity to make representations to the planning authority at that time.
ABO Energy is currently undertaking a range of environmental assessments relating to the project. This information will then be presented alongside the planning application for consideration by the planning authority and relevant statutory consultees (technical experts) to assess its potential impact.
All considerations are site specific and are informed by detailed surveys and assessments. For the purposes of this pre-application community consultation process we have selected key topics to provide further information on – these are displayed on the project information boards available to download above.
An Environmental Statement will accompany the planning application for the project, scheduled for submission in Q4 2025.
The proposed wind farm and associated development is expected to generate business rates of between £435,073 and £580,097 per annum, of which 47% will go to Fermanagh and Omagh District Council.
As well as the creation of jobs across the development, construction and operational phases of the project, the wind farm will include a local Community Benefit Fund of between £54,000 and £72,000 per annum (between£1,890,000 and £2,520,000 over a 35-year period)
It is anticipated that the wind farm will connect to Drumquin Main Cluster substation, however, this decision will be taken by NIE Networks.
If planning permission for the wind farm is granted, a formal grid connection application will be submitted to NIE Networks, who will then determine the final route and method. For now, ABO Energy has identified what they believe is the most practical and likely route, using professional judgement.
When construction and commissioning of the project is complete, it will be operational for a period of 35 years. When the project is decommissioned, all above-ground structures will be removed and the land restored.
Your feedback will be considered in detail as work progresses towards finalising our designs and collating all the relevant planning application documents.
It is intended that a full planning application will be submitted to the planning authority in Q4 2025.
If planning permission is granted, and all other necessary consents are achieved, it is anticipated that the project will take approximately 12-18 months to construct and become operational.
