Voltalia Secures 93MW Solar Contracts with ESB in Ireland

Voltalia has been awarded two new engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contracts by Ireland's semi-state-owned utility ESB for solar power plants totaling 92.9 megawatts, including the 43.7 MW Carriglong and 49.2 MW Clashwilliam projects. These contracts mark the fourth collaboration between Voltalia and ESB since 2023, following previous projects such as the 108 MW Timahoe North and 75 MW Middleton House solar parks. Since mid-2024, Voltalia has secured construction contracts for over 600 MW in Ireland, adding to the 365 MW already commissioned since 2022, solidifying its growing presence in the Irish renewable energy market. This partnership supports Ireland's renewable energy goals, aiding efforts to increase green electricity production, reduce carbon emissions, and enhance energy security by decreasing reliance on fossil fuels. Voltalia's CEO Robert Klein expressed satisfaction with continuing their collaboration, highlighting the strategic importance of the projects for both companies and Ireland's sustainable energy transition. The projects are expected to contribute significantly to Ireland's target of generating 70% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030.
