The Group are developing 2 significant offshore windfarms (the North Celtic Sea and South Irish Sea), solar farms, hydrogen production from wind, battery storage solutions as well as continuing to expand and operate their onshore wind portfolio. As a community focused company, Energia Group are committed to supporting local communities through volunteering, charity and a significant community benefit fund which has seen €3million invested in communities in recent years.
Commenting on the Group’s activities related to the Sustainable Development Goals, Ian Thom, CEO Energia Group, stated: “At Energia Group, we understand the importance of the Sustainable Development Goals for communities across the island of Ireland and globally. We also recognise the positive contribution we can make in helping to progress the SDGs. As one of Ireland’s leading renewable energy developers and green electricity supplier, we have always been focused on climate action and now by aligning our responsible business activities to the SDG’s we are strengthening that commitment to climate action, to the communities in which we operate and serve and to our employees.”
