We are committed to the societal goal of achieving net zero emissions through the generation of renewable electricity. We are progressing a pipeline of projects and acquisitions, including initiatives with our trusted partners, to deliver our 5GWs of renewable electricity by 2030 target and Net Zero by 2040 strategy.
Clare Duffy, our dispatchable generation and storage manager, explains why ESB is investing significantly in large scale battery projects and the role they play in Ireland's net zero energy future.

Fuel: Wind
Capacity: 20 MW
Commissioned: 2010
Technology: 8 Nordex (N80 - 2.5MW) Turbines
The Hunter’s Hill Wind Farm is located between Fintona and Fivemiletown in Co Tyrone.
The wind farm features eight turbines with a combined generating capacity of 20 MW. It can generate enough renewable electricity to power around 12,700 local households annually.
Each year, the operation of Hunter’s Hill wind farm off-sets the emission of more than 54,500 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2). This is equivalent to saving on annual import of over 12,000 fossil fuels.
We believe hydrogen produced from renewable electricity will play a critical role in the decarbonisation of many sectors.
