Seskin Windfarm would have consisted of eight turbines on the Laois/Kilkenny border.
Plans for a contentious Midlands wind farm project have been rejected.
Seskin Renewable Energy Limited applied to erect eight wind turbines with a ground to blade tip height of 175m and a blade length of 75m.
Both Laois and Kilkenny County Councils rejected the plans due to the "size and scale" of the proposed development.
Issues around Seskin's approach to their grid connection requirements, and the "significant" works required in Durrow town centre were also cited in their decisions.
The project has been the subject of sustained community opposition with public meetings and roadside protests taking place in Durrow and Ballinaslee last month.
