After 40 years, we end coal generation at our Moneypoint power station

We are continuing the transformation of our Moneypoint power station in Co Clare into a renewable energy hub with the end of coal generation earlier than planned, representing a significant milestone in our net zero carbon strategy.

Moneypoint will remain a key site for ESB and for the Mid-West region as the station evolves and transforms to support the Irish government to achieve its climate targets.

Title : Carnsore
Location : Co. Wexford
Select a choice : Wind
Latitude : 52.1835501
Longitude : -6.3642758

Fuel: Wind 

Capacity: 11.9 MW 

Commissioned: 2002

Technology: 14 Vestas (V52 - 0.850MW) Turbines

 

The Carnsore Wind Farm sits on a 200-acre site located at Carnsore Point, the most south-easterly corner of Ireland. The ​low-lying site is exposed to the high sea breeze on two sides as its bounded by the Irish Sea, and the Atlantic (Celtic Sea).

The wind farm's 14 turbines have a combined generating capacity of 11.9 MW. ​It can generate enough renewable electricity to power around 7,600 households a year, which equates to some 14% of Co Wexford.

Each year, the operation of Carnsore wind farm off-sets the emission of harmful greenhouse gases, such as 32,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2), 430 tonnes of sulphur dioxide (SOˣ), and 100 tonnes of nitrogen oxide (NOˣ).

Hydrogen

We believe hydrogen produced from renewable electricity will play a critical role in the decarbonisation of many sectors.
