Ørsted completes acquisition of 160 MW solar farm in Ireland
Ørsted has completed the acquisition of the 160 MW Irish solar photovoltaic project Garrenleen from renewable energy developer Terra Solar.
The project is Ørsted's second solar PV farm in Ireland and will be able to power up to 56,000 homes annually, making it one of the largest solar farms in the country. Located about 15 km outside the town of Carlow in the southeast of Ireland, the project will contribute to Ørsted’s global goal of reaching 17.5 GW of onshore capacity by 2030.
Subject to Ørsted’s final investment decision, phase 1 (81 MW) will be delivered in 2025, with phase 2 (79 MW) expected to be completed in 2026.
