Ireland Auctions 80 New Wind And Solar Projects
Ireland recently auctioned 80 new wind and solar projects amounting to 1.9 GW. Chosen from among 130 renewable energy projects, the 80 new projects were awarded in Ireland's most recent Renewable Energy Assistance Plan (RESS 2) auction. Submitted to the auction, 50 projects fell short to qualify for state assistance in spite of amounting to 998 MW of capacity. It represents an increase over RESS-1, in which 1.2 GW of capacity was awarded. The system is meant to aid the development of wind and solar electrical power projects in Ireland. Every mega watt hr of power generated by renewables such as wind and solar can power around 400 average homes. SSE Renewables-owned Green Wind Energy (Wexford) Ltd got a contract for its 104 mega watt (MW) Yellow River wind farm, which the London-listed team got after it survived preparation in 2019. Amarenco, the solar developer chaired by former Bord Gáis chief executive, John Mullins, got contracts for several projects with a complete capacity of greater than 33MW via the auction. Going from EUR104.15/ MWh in RESS 1 to EUR116.41/ MWh in RESS 2, the average rate granted for community-based projects has additionally likewise enhanced. Solar power has once more led the pack, making up just about 11 projects that efficiently requested the prices mechanism. PV projects that have actually provisionally won agreements consist of Soleire Renewables' 120 MW Ballyroe, East Laois Solar Farm Limited's 80 MW Loughteague and Joriclo's 80 MW Gaskinstown. Soleire got backing for solar projects with a total capacity of 256.5 MW at Ballyroe, near Charleville in Co Cork and Erkina, near to Roscrea in Co Tipperary. It replaced the old eco-friendly feed-in tariff system, which just guaranteed a set minimum rate. Households and organizations pay for the plan via a civil service obligation levy on their electrical power expenses. Nevertheless, present high power costs are most likely to suggest the levy will certainly be set at zero later in the year. The outcomes of the auction will be released on June 15.

Ireland's Small-Scale Renewable Incentive Scheme Boosts Solar, Wind
Ireland has launched the second phase of its Small-Scale Renewable Electricity Support Scheme (SRESS), offering incentives to small solar and wind projects by local communities and small- and medium-sized enterprises. The program is open to projects with capacities ranging from 50 kW to 6 MW, with fixed tariffs available across six categories for both solar and wind projects.Renewable energy communities (RECs) will receive EUR 150 per MWh for solar projects under 1 MW and EUR 140/MWh for projects between 1 MW and 6 MW. Wind projects up to 6 MW will receive EUR 90/MWh. SMEs will receive tariffs of EUR 130/MWh for solar projects under 1 MW and EUR 120/MWh for projects between 1 MW and 6 MW, with wind projects receiving EUR 80/MWh. Ireland aims to support at least 500 MW of local community-based renewable energy projects by 2030 under its Climate Action Plan. What are the incentives for small solar and wind projects in Ireland's SRESS phase 2? Renewable energy communities (RECs) will receive EUR 150 per MWh for solar projects under 1 MW and EUR 140/MWh for projects between 1 MW and 6 MW. Wind projects up to 6 MW will receive EUR 90/MWh. Small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) will receive tariffs of EUR 130/MWh for solar projects under 1 MW and EUR 120/MWh for projects between 1 MW and 6 MW.
