These newly awarded EPC contracts have a combined capacity of 92.9 megawatts, comprising the 43.7-megawatt Carriglong solar power plant and the 49.2-megawatt Clashwilliam solar power plant. The partnership between Voltalia and ESB has now entered its fourth phase, solidifying their collaborative relationship since the beginning of 2023.

In recent years, Voltalia has established itself as a vital partner for ESB, contributing to several key projects within Ireland's renewable energy sector. Notable collaborations include the completion of the 108-megawatt Timahoe North solar park and the 75-megawatt Middleton House solar project. Given this successful track record, the announcement of the latest contracts marks yet another milestone in their joint efforts.
Expanding Renewable Energy Capacity in Ireland
Since the summer of 2024, Voltalia has been entrusted with constructing over 600 megawatts of renewable energy projects across Ireland, further expanding its operations in the country.
