Voltalia to build 108 MW solar PV project in Ireland

ESB and Bord na Móna have selected Voltalia as the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contractor for their new 108 MW solar photovoltaic (PV) project at Timahoe North, County Kildare, in Ireland. The joint-venture project aims to deliver up to 500 MW of solar farms based on Bord na Móna lands. 

The Timahoe North Solar Farm, which is set to be the first large-scale solar project of ESB and Bord na Móna's joint-venture, will provide enough to power around 61,500 inhabitants. The project supports Ireland’s renewable energy targets for 2030 and will deliver more green energy to communities and businesses across the country.

Voltalia has been contracted to carry out the EPC contract, and the solar farm is expected to be fully operational by the end of 2024.
