AN agreement has been reached for the sale of a wind farm in Co Tyrone.
Renewable energy company RES UK & Ireland Ltd has agreed to sell the Hunter's Hill wind farm to Irish electricity company ESB.
The eight-turbine wind farm is currently under construction by RES and is located between Fintona and Fivemiletown.
It is sited adjacent to the Lendrum's Bridge wind farm, which was also developed and built by RES.
Construction began on Hunter's Hill last September, and the wind farm is expected to begin generating power later this year.
The eight turbines will give the farm a total installed capacity of 20MW, and the project is expected to generate enough electricity to meet the needs of 11,200 homes each year.
