Roscommon County Council has given the go-ahead for a large solar farm near Carrick-on-Shannon.

Elgin Energy Services looked for planning permission for this solar farm on a 93-acre site just off the Boyle Road in Carrick-on-Shannon.
It would be located on the townlands of Meera and Tullyleague, near Carrick Quads.

The solar farm would have a lifespan of 40 years.
Elgin told the council it's an Irish solar energy company, with 21 projects across the UK, providing clean energy to 75,000 homes a year.
It has also got planning permission for 23 projects in Ireland.

One of the 31 conditions attached to the grant of planning is a development contribution of 180,000 euro, which must be paid before construction starts.
