Irwin Carr provides comprehensive environmental consultancy services to support the planning, development, construction and operation of renewable energy projects across Ireland and the UK. We work with developers, planners and regulators to ensure renewable energy schemes are designed and delivered in a robust, compliant and environmentally responsible manner.

Our core expertise lies in wind energy, where Irwin Carr has an extensive track record of undertaking noise impact assessments for onshore wind farms, including greenfield developments, turbine extensions and increased hub height proposals. We undertake baseline noise surveys, detailed predictive noise modelling and ETSU‑R‑97 assessments, supported by professional interpretation and clear mitigation strategies where required. Our work routinely forms part of Environmental Impact Assessment Reports (EIARs) and planning submissions for major infrastructure projects.

In addition to wind energy, Irwin Carr supports a broad range of renewable and low‑carbon developments, including anaerobic digestion plants, energy‑from‑waste, solar projects and associated grid and infrastructure works. Our services cover the full project lifecycle, from feasibility and environmental scoping through to operational compliance monitoring.

Key renewable energy services include:

• Environmental noise and vibration assessments
• Construction and operational noise monitoring
• Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) inputs
• Planning support and technical evidence for regulators
• Post‑consent compliance monitoring and reporting

Irwin Carr combines technical excellence with a pragmatic, development‑focused approach, ensuring that renewable energy projects progress efficiently while meeting environmental and community expectation.
