ESB, the semi-state owned utility and Bord na Móna, the semi-state climate solutions company, are two of Ireland’s leading energy providers. They have formed a joint-venture to develop up to 500-megawatt solar farms based on Bord na Móna lands. Timahoe North solar farm will be the first project of this partnership and will have an installed capacity of 108 megawatts.
Voltalia will be responsible for the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) of the solar farm, which is expected to be fully operational by the end of 2024.
