Technical FAQs 4

How much solar power does Ireland need?

Despite the promising growth, Ireland currently remains well behind its 2030 target of 8 GW of installed PV. Its total installed solar capacity was 1.76 GW at the end of May. Utility-scale solar farms make up the backbone of the new capacity, delivering power directly to the grid.

Does Ireland have a solar power grid?

Solar power reached its highest recorded figure on the national electricity grid in May, while overall almost a third of electricity came from renewable sources 1 last month, according to provisional data from EirGrid EirGrid is responsible for operating, developing and enhancing Ireland’s electricity grid and market.

How big is Ireland's solar capacity?

Ireland’s total installed solar capacity reached 1.76 GW as of May 31, 2025, according to Solar Ireland’s new “Scale of Solar 2025” report. Based on data from distribution system operator ESB Networks, the report shows Ireland has advanced from a poor PV performer to a mid-tier solar market in Europe within a few years.

Will Bord Gáis become Ireland's largest solar power off-taker by 2025?

Bord Gáis Energy is set to become Ireland’s largest solar power off-taker by 2025, following a landmark agreement with Strategic Power Projects (SPP).
