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 emissions by 2040.
We invite you and your family to a special Community Open Day on Saturday, 20th September 2025 to mark the 40th Anniversary of our Moneypoint Power Station in Co Clare.
Enjoy a guided bus tour of the station, explore our new exhibition detailing the history of the station and take part in fun activities including face painting while enjoying some light refreshments.
Our aim is to develop a pipeline of projects to deliver large scale batteries while also developing a growing solar energy portfolio.

Offshore wind is playing a major role globally in mankind's fight against climate change and our transition to a zero carbon economy. We have been involved in offshore wind generation since 2017 with a number of planned projects for Ireland and the UK.

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.
We have partnered with DP Energy to develop Lyra onshore wind farm in Co Mayo, with the potential to generate 100MW of clean energy.
Located approximately 7km of Wesport, the proposed project will generate enough energy to power more than 70,000 homes on an annual basis.
We currently have more than 300MWs of battery storage capacity in operation in Ireland, making it one of the largest battery portfolios in Europe.

We have set an ambitious and bold course of action to help Ireland achieve climate action targets and transition the country to reliable, affordable, net zero energy. Green Atlantic @ Moneypoint is a multi-billion Euro programme of significant investments on the County Clare site over the next decade.

Fuel: Wind
Capacity: 34.5 MW
Commissioned: 2013
Technology: 15 Siemens (SWT93 - 2.3MW) Turbines
The Mynydd y Betws Wind Farm is located atop Betws Mountain situated on the border between Swansea and Carmarthenshire in South Wales. The steep-sided plateau, with a maximum elevation of 341m, is the highest mountain in Swansea.
The wind farm features 15 turbines with a combined generating capacity of 34.5 MW. It can generate enough renewable electricity to power around 22,425 households a year, which equates to some 28% of Carmarthenshire.
Each year, the operation of Mynydd y Betws Wind Farm off-sets the emission of more than 94,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2), going towards minimising the environmental impact of ‘Betws New Drift Coal Mine’ which occupied the area for nearly 30 years prior.
We believe hydrogen produced from renewable electricity will play a critical role in the decarbonisation of many sectors.
