Utility-scale solar power plants (> 5 MW) are a key component of Ireland''s transition to clean energy, currently accounting for 51% of the market. The sector saw significant growth following...
Dublin, 13 November 2025 – Ireland celebrated a landmark moment in its clean energy transition, with national solar capacity surpassing 2 GW for the first time. This milestone reflects the remarkable
Its total installed solar capacity was 1.76 GW at the end of May. Utility-scale solar farms make up the backbone of the new capacity, delivering power directly to the grid.
Shannon Energy are working to deliver up to 1,000 MW of renewable energy in Ireland by 2030, providing enough power for up to 200,000 homes. Our goal is to assemble a diverse portfolio
In February 2024, ESB Networks announced that over 1GW (1,000MW) of solar is now connected to the Irish grid at utility scale and behind the meter – enough to power around 400,000
From rooftops and schools to solar farms and battery-backed hybrid systems, solar is delivering power to over 140,000 homes and currently helping cut more than 395,000 tonnes of CO2 every year.
It''s a story that has less to do with which county gets the most sun, and more to do with invisible electrical superhighways, hyperactive housing developers, and the powerful economic
Given that projects like these tend to progress slowly, and not all of them will be successful, industry leaders and policymakers will need to be even bolder in finding suitable utility-scale solar projects
Aer Soléir – Irish for “clear air” – is dedicated to accelerating the energy transition in Europe. Headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, we are a developer of utility scale onshore wind, solar PV and
Empa Solar Energy Europe is a leading energy storage equipment manufacturer and integrator based in Poland, serving the European market. We specialize in C&I energy storage systems for factories and warehouses, industrial battery storage systems for heavy-duty applications, factory energy storage systems (ESS) to optimize production, commercial battery energy storage systems (BESS) for retail and offices, enterprise storage solutions for corporate campuses, industrial park energy storage for multi-tenant sites, commercial battery storage for peak shaving, industrial battery storage systems for backup power, and remote base station power solutions for telecom towers. Our portfolio also includes lithium-ion batteries, system-level battery management systems (BMS), energy conversion systems (PCS), energy storage battery system cabinets, communication cabinets for telecom and data centres, integrated PV-storage systems, distributed energy resources, deep discharge battery technology, and containerised BESS. As a full-service provider, we also offer modular battery racks, backup emergency power, and zero‑carbon microgrids. Our advanced lithium‑ion and sodium‑ion solutions ensure safety, scalability, and high performance for commercial, industrial, and utility projects across Europe.
Our modular energy storage portfolio ranges from compact lithium-ion batteries to 20ft/40ft mobile containers and outdoor all-in-one storage cabinets with IP54 protection. We are a leading energy storage equipment manufacturer, offering communication cabinets for 5G/telecom, server racks for data centers, and IP54 rated enclosures for harsh environments. Our stackable design allows flexible capacity expansion, while our grid-forming technology ensures stable off‑grid operation.
