Prioritize lower-risk utility-scale solar opportunities in Ireland with strong grid posture and a slight west bias.

Second-ranked opportunity (score 77) with the best west-bias alignment among higher-scoring candidates. Planning risk (34) and grid access (72) are acceptable but not top-tier. Galway east corridor provides meaningful western geographic exposure while maintaining development viability.

Third-ranked candidate (score 74) with good planning risk (31) but weaker grid access (68). Longford's central midlands position offers limited west alignment. Delivery simplicity score (71) is adequate. Risk profile is acceptable but not differentiated.

Lowest-ranked candidate (score 64) with the highest planning risk (42) and weakest grid access (58). Despite strong west alignment, the Mayo-south edge fails to meet the strong grid posture requirement and exceeds planning risk tolerance thresholds. Not recommended for prioritization.
