Naming
The fuller name comes from the Uí Chinnsealaigh, who were the dominant gaelic family in the area; and is used to differentiate it from other "Cruachan" mountains.[1][5]
Geography
Croghan is situated at the far southeastern end of the Wicklow Mountains on the Wicklow and Wexford border, in Ireland.[4] Croghan is separated from the main range on its own small massif that includes neighbouring Croghan East Top Шаблон:Convert (which gives Croghan the profile of a "double peak"), and Slievefoore Шаблон:Convert to the east. Croghan is the source of the River Bann with rises from its southern slopes.[4]
Raheenleagh Wind Farm
The eastern side of Croghan contains the Raheenleagh Wind Farm, which was a 32.2 MW Coillte-ESB Group joint venture project that opened on 20 September 2016.[6] The wind farm was constructed in an existing Coillte forest, and consists of 11 Siemens Wind Power (108 – DD – 3.2MW) wind turbines.[6] The project received planning permission in 2012, and a 17-month construction process started in mid-2015.[6]
In 2018, it was reported that Coillte had sold their 50 percent stake to Greencoat Renewables.[7]
