Renvolt Wins 124-MW Wexford Hub EPC, O&M

• Voltalia’s Renvolt lands ESB’s 124.2‑MW Wexford Hub EPC, adding O&M. Deal deepens services-first partnership, pushes third‑party builds past 1 GW, and streamlines Irish solar performance.

Voltalia’s services arm Renvolt won a turnkey EPC contract from ESB to deliver the 124.2‑MW Wexford Hub solar project in County Wexford, Ireland, and will provide post-build operations and maintenance. The award expands Voltalia’s “services-first” push and extends a partnership: ESB previously tapped Voltalia for the 43.7‑MW Carriglong and 49.2‑MW Clashwilliam projects.

Renvolt, branded as Voltalia’s dedicated EPC and O&M unit, says Wexford lifts third‑party capacity under construction above 1 GW. In Ireland’s utility‑scale solar market, tying EPC through O&M can streamline handovers and boost availability. For ESB and Voltalia, the model locks in accountability and supports repeat, services-led growth.

How does Renvolt’s Wexford EPC-O&M deal advance ESB partnership and services-first strategy?

• Deepens ESB–Renvolt continuity by extending a multi‑site delivery track record, streamlining standards, interfaces, and decision cycles across projects
  
• Locks in a single point of accountability from design through lifecycle operations, tightening performance guarantees and simplifying risk allocation for ESB
  
• Converts “services‑first” positioning into recurring revenue via long‑term O&M, not just one‑off EPC margin, underpinning predictable cash flow for Renvolt
  
• Builds operational data flywheels across Irish sites, enabling iterative improvements in availability, curtailment management, and grid‑code compliance
  
• Enhances bankability of future ESB projects by showcasing on‑time EPC plus post‑COD performance, supporting lower contingencies and financing costs
  
• Creates a template/master‑service framework ESB can replicate for faster procurement and portfolio rollout in Ireland’s utility‑scale solar build‑out
  
• Strengthens grid‑support credentials (controls, SCADA, reactive power/voltage management), aligning with Ireland’s system services and grid stability needs
  
• Opens pathways to layer storage or hybrid controls later, with O&M contracts structured to integrate new assets without renegotiating core terms
  
• Aggregates purchasing and local supply‑chain leverage for ESB through a repeat contractor, mitigating inflation and logistics risks
  
• Improves warranty and spare‑parts strategy by unifying EPC choices with O&M practices, reducing downtime and lifecycle costs
  
• Positions Renvolt to upsell asset management, performance analytics, and repowering services as the fleet matures
  
• Signals to the market that ESB favors services‑led partnerships, encouraging developers and lenders to align on long‑horizon operations outcomes
