Copper Coast Renewables’ Post

The new Programme for Government reflects Ireland’s growing ambition in renewable energy. Solar PV’s increased emphasis is a promising step, but we need clear timelines and actionable commitments to deliver real progress. At the Irish Solar Energy Association (ISEA) , we stand ready to work alongside stakeholders to drive measurable action. The next five years will shape Ireland’s path toward its 2030 targets. Let’s ensure we’re on the right side of history.

The Irish Programme for Government outlines ambitious goals for renewable energy, with solar PV taking a more prominent role. While these commitments are promising, Ireland must now focus on actionable progress.

The Ember European Electricity Review 2025 brings great news: solar energy has overtaken coal across the EU, growing by 22% in 2024 to supply 11% of electricity! Ireland is proud to be a key contributor to this milestone, with rising solar capacity driving our transition to a cleaner, greener energy system. Why it Matters: 🌍 Solar and wind are helping Ireland reduce fossil fuel reliance and cut emissions. ⚡ Innovations like battery storage and modernised grids ensure renewable energy is efficient and reliable. 💡 Ireland is on track to meet ambitious REPowerEU targets, paving the way for a sustainable energy future. 🔗 Read more about Ireland’s role in the EU’s clean energy revolution and explore the full report in our latest blog: https://lnkd.in/etbSCS_h #SolarEnergy #Ireland #CleanEnergy #EnergyTransition #Sustainability

Do you know renewable energy could power 80% of Ireland by 2030? ☀️🌍 Ireland is leading the charge in renewable energy, with ambitious targets to meet 80% of its energy needs from renewables by 2030. But how can businesses prepare for this shift? Solar, wind, and hydro technologies are now more accessible than ever, providing clean, reliable energy sources for industries like manufacturing and construction. By investing in renewables, companies not only reduce their carbon emissions but also future-proof themselves in an increasingly green economy. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gW3YpE5A.

Low Carbon has energised four new solar farms in the UK on the same week the country closed the last remaining coal-fired power station, becoming the first G7 country to stop using coal power. This is more than a symbolic moment, it’s proof of the energy transition in action. The share of energy coming from renewables is rising steadily. The International Energy Agency (IEA) says that renewables will generate a third of global electricity this and that could rise to more than 40% by 2028. Our four solar farms contribute to growing renewable reliance. Together it is estimated the solar farms will power the equivalent of more than 38,000 homes with clean energy and avoid approximately 40,000 tonnes of CO2e each year. The switch has been flipped, homes are still being powered, but we are not emitting greenhouse gases. Each switch that gets flipped to turn on a solar farm, or to turn off a fossil fuel power plant, brings us closer to net-zero emissions and a world powered entirely by renewable energy. These four solar farms were developed, constructed, and are now being operated by Low Carbon. We have more that will be operating later this year, and each one is critical to our goal to create new renewable energy. Low Carbon is on a mission. Together, we will power tomorrow. #LowCarbon #PoweringTomorrow #RenewableEnergy

Exciting news for Ireland’s renewable energy sector! 🌍 The Irish government has introduced the South Coast Designated Maritime Area Plan (DMAP), paving the way for offshore wind development. The first project, Tonn Nua, aims to generate 900 MW by 2030 off the coast of County Waterford, bringing Ireland closer to its clean energy goals and boosting local economies. With this growth, efficient energy storage is critical. Lithium-ion batteries, known for their high energy density and long life, are key to maximizing the potential of renewable power. As Ireland moves forward, investing in advanced storage solutions will be essential for a sustainable energy future. #RenewableEnergy #OffshoreWind #Ireland #EnergyStorage #Sustainability https://lnkd.in/er4yzV5N

What’s changed in EU clean energy since 2019? The EU has made remarkable progress in clean energy, with wind and solar power leading the way. Since 2019, these renewables have driven a significant 22% reduction in fossil fuel generation across the EU. Here’s what that looks like: ✅ Wind and solar capacity in the EU has surged by 65% (+188 GW). ✅ Solar capacity alone has soared by 113%, from 120 GW to 257 GW. This is equivalent to installing over 230.000 solar panels every single day for four years straight! This solar revolution is about building a sustainable future. The rapid growth of renewables is helping the EU reduce emissions and strengthen its position as a global leader in the energy transition. Countries like Germany, Belgium, Hungary, and the Netherlands are proving that a clean energy future is within reach for all Member States. Together, let’s build a greener and more sustainable Europe. 🌱💪 Learn how at: www.otovo.com #CleanEnergy #Sustainability #WindPower #SolarEnergy #EUClimateAction #EnergyTransition

Exciting news for the green energy sector! 🌍 The European Commission has agreed to finance a €682 million Belgian initiative to boost renewable offshore wind energy. 🌬️ This plan supports the construction of Belgium’s first offshore wind farm in the Princess Elisabeth Zone in the North Sea. The wind farm is set to have a capacity of 700 MW and generate 2.6 TWh of renewable electricity annually.💡 The project was approved under the State Aid Temporary Crisis and Transition Framework. 💶 Support will come through a transparent, competitive bidding process with a monthly variable, 20-year price premium under a two-way contract for difference. This move aligns with the EU’s Green Deal Industrial Plan and aims to accelerate the green transition. 🌱 #RenewableEnergy #GreenTransition #EUUpdates
