Wind Energy Ireland claims county councils' zoning/rezoning hinder wind farm approvals, hampering Ireland's climate targets.

Wind Energy Ireland accuses county councils in Ireland of contributing to increased rejections of wind farm projects by zoning and rezoning land to prevent developments. This allegedly results in more projects being denied approval by An Bord Pleanála, hindering the nation's ability to meet its climate action targets. Wind Energy Ireland calls for a better planning process to support renewable energy investment in Ireland.
