Mayo County Council

Mayo County Council


Mayo County Council has been involved in the development of AWE for many years. MayoCoCo was the lead partner of the InterregNWE project MegaAWE and has been through the permitting process and construction process alongside RWE for the settling of their test site in Bangor Erris. 
The local administration sees an opportunity to build on the MegaAWE public outreach, findings and investments in its region and develop an innovative energy solution that will be deployable and efficient for its territory, as well as the sentiment of participation to the effort in pilot projects acting for a more sustainable energy production. MayoCoco's motivation also lays in the relevance and importance of learning directly from the AWE project developed on its territory while being directly involved in strategic activities alongside the project partners.
Local acceptance is a key aspect of the development of renewable energy project and MayoCoCo is a key actor in facilitating the process towards local population. MayoCoCo will participate in the organisation and in the conduction of local actions towards the population and the stakeholders with regards to the DEM-AWE project activities. Collecting feedback from the public is important for MayoCoCo who want to hear from people.
