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.
