Greenvolt Next Wins 32 MW Solar Build in Ireland
Jun 24, 2026 10:47 AM ET
- Greenvolt Next wins a contract for three 32MW utility-scale Irish solar farms for Amarenco—delivering clean power, strengthening energy security, and expanding Greenvolt’s European renewables footprint.
Greenvolt Group said its Greenvolt Next unit has won a contract to build three utility-scale solar farms in Ireland for Franco-Irish independent power producer Amarenco. The projects total 32 MW of installed capacity, adding new renewable generation to the country’s expanding solar sector.
Under the agreement, Greenvolt Next will handle the engineering and construction needed to bring the facilities into operation. The deal underscores Ireland’s push to diversify renewables and cut carbon emissions, with utility solar expected to play a growing role in meeting clean-energy targets and improving energy security. The contract also expands Greenvolt Next’s footprint in Europe’s renewables market.
How will Greenvolt Next’s 32MW Ireland contract expand solar capacity and emissions targets?
- Adds 32 MW of new, utility-scale solar generation to Ireland’s grid, directly increasing the country’s installed solar capacity rather than relying solely on small rooftop systems.
- Helps Ireland progress toward national and EU solar and clean-energy targets by expanding the pipeline of grid-scale capacity that can be built and commissioned within defined project schedules.
- Supports emissions-reduction goals by replacing a portion of electricity that would otherwise come from higher-emitting generation sources, lowering lifecycle carbon intensity over the plants’ operating lives.
- Strengthens energy security for periods when solar output contributes to daytime demand, reducing reliance on imported fuels and volatile generation costs.
- Improves the reliability of meeting decarbonization milestones by bringing multiple sites online as a portfolio (three farms), which can spread development and commissioning timing.
- Advances the growth of Ireland’s broader solar sector by adding new utility projects that can attract further investment and supply-chain activity.
- Demonstrates scaling capability for Greenvolt Next in European utility solar—expanding the company’s ability to deliver similar projects that support long-term emissions targets.
- Contributes to broader decarbonization beyond electricity by enabling downstream benefits such as cleaner power for electrification efforts (e.g., industrial processes and future demand growth).
