Voltalia selected to build a 108-megawatt solar farm

Voltalia (Euronext Paris, ISIN code: FR0011995588), an international player in renewable energy, has been chosen by ESB and Bord na Móna as EPC contractor for their solar farm in Ireland.

ESB, the semi-state owned utility and Bord na Móna, the semi-state climate solutions company, two of Ireland’s leading energy providers, have selected Voltalia for their new solar farm at Timahoe North, Co Kildare. It will be the first large-scale solar project of their joint-venture which aims to deliver up to 500-megawatt solar farms based on Bord na Móna lands. 

Voltalia has been contracted to carry out the solar farm's Engineering, Procurement and Construction (“EPC”) contract. It is expected that Timahoe North solar farm will be fully operational by the end of 2024, with an installed capacity of 108 megawatts. This is enough energy to power around 61 500 inhabitants, which will support the delivery of more green energy to communities and businesses across the country in line with Ireland’s renewable energy targets for 2030.

Sébastien Clerc, CEO of Voltalia, states: “Since the beginning of the year, the expertise of our teams has enabled us to grow in Ireland as service provider. Today, we are delighted to build this new project and to support our local partners, Bord na Móna and ESB.”

Next in the agenda: Q2 2023 Turnover, on July 26th 2023 (after market hours)
