Our Flagship Projects

Capacity: 15 MWp (Megawatt peak)

Homes Powered: Approximately 4,500 Irish households annually

Community Benefits: This project includes a community benefit fund, supporting local initiatives and sustainability education programs. It also provides significant local employment during construction and operation.

Technologies: Advanced monocrystalline solar panels, smart inverters, and an integrated energy management system for optimal performance and grid connection stability.

This project is a testament to Eireann Current's commitment to large-scale renewable energy deployment and community partnership.

Chargers Installed: 50+ high-power DC rapid chargers (up to 150 kW)

Fleet Size Supported: Infrastructure capable of managing charging for over 150 electric delivery vehicles simultaneously during off-peak hours.

Features: Implemented a bespoke smart energy management system that optimizes charging schedules based on vehicle availability, grid pricing, and renewable energy generation onsite (where applicable), significantly reducing operational costs and carbon footprint.

Challenges & Solutions: Overcame grid connection limitations through advanced load balancing and battery buffering strategies, ensuring reliable charging without requiring massive grid upgrades.

Turbine Capacity: Each of the 8 turbines has a rated capacity of 4.2 MW, totalling 33.6 MW (initial project proposal was 30MW, expanded during development).

Location: Strategically chosen site in rural Galway, maximizing wind resource utilization while minimizing environmental impact.

Environmental Impact: Expected to offset approximately 50,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually, contributing significantly to Ireland's renewable energy targets.

Grid Connection: Features advanced grid integration technology to ensure stable and reliable power delivery to the national grid, even with fluctuating wind conditions.

Storage Capacity: A substantial 20 MWh system utilizing advanced Lithium-ion battery technology.

Application: Primarily used for frequency response, providing instantaneous power injection or absorption to stabilize the grid, and peak shaving, reducing demand during high-cost periods.

Benefits: Crucial for integrating larger capacities of intermittent renewable energy sources like wind and solar, ensuring grid reliability and reducing reliance on fossil fuel 'peaker' plants.

Innovation: Features Eireann Current's proprietary software for intelligent charge/discharge management, optimizing revenue and grid services.

Capacity: A 50 kWp rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) array designed to maximize sun exposure throughout the day.

Annual Savings: Estimated annual electricity bill savings of approximately €8,000 for the school, redirecting funds towards educational resources.

Impact: Beyond financial savings, the project serves as a living laboratory for students, fostering understanding of renewable energy and environmental responsibility. It significantly reduces the school's operational carbon footprint.

Installation: Completed with minimal disruption to school operations, adhering to strict safety protocols and leveraging durable, high-efficiency panels.

Businesses Served: Comprehensive energy consulting and implementation for over 100 small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across counties Clare, Limerick, and Tipperary.

Average Savings: Businesses achieved average energy bill reductions of 20-30%, with some seeing savings up to 40% through targeted interventions.

Scope: Our audits covered all aspects of energy consumption, including LED lighting upgrades, HVAC system optimization, building envelope improvements (insulation, windows), process efficiency enhancements, and renewable energy feasibility studies.

Outcomes: Beyond cost savings, clients reported improved operational efficiency, enhanced sustainability profiles, and increased comfort for employees and customers.
