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.
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.
Our aim is to develop a pipeline of projects to deliver large scale batteries while also developing a growing solar energy portfolio.

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.
