Irish Energy Ministry has inaugurated the 108 MWp Timahoe North solar farm in County Kildare, the first project delivered under ESB and Bord na Móna’s solar co-development agreement.
Timahoe North Solar Farm, located in the townland of Timahoe in Co Kildare, about 3km south of Johnstownbridge, has a maximum power potential of 108 MW of electricity. It is enough to power about 25,000 homes in ideal circumstances. The project is the first of four major solar farms to be co-developed by the ESB and BnM as part of a wider 500 MW solar power partnership agreement signed in 2017. It has been fully operational since early 2025.
