We’ve turned the sod on our solar farm to power our largest production facility

We are delighted to officially commence work on a major renewable energy project at our largest, multi-purpose integrated dairy facility in Ballyragget.

The 6.5 hectare, 8 MWp ground-mounted solar farm is being delivered in partnership with ESB’s Smart Energy Services and is expected to be completed in early 2026. It will reduce the site’s carbon footprint and its reliance on grid electricity. The solar farm will be a “behind-the-meter” self-generation project, meaning all energy produced will be consumed directly at the Ballyragget facility.

Well done to all involved in this project to date especially the Ops and Supply Chain, Ballyragget Operations, ESG, Procurement and Engineering teams.
