Bullstown project: first in a series of photovoltaic projects from developers worth €200 million, focused on renewable generation.
One of ESB's most high-profile projects is the construction of the Bullstown solar farm, located southeast of Ashbourne in County Meath. With an investment of 13 million euros, the 8,5 MW project is scheduled to begin construction in early 2024. Connection to the electricity grid will be made via a short length of cable at the existing 38kV substation. Ashbourne, adjacent to the site. Before construction begins, a detailed traffic management plan will be agreed with Meath County Council, demonstrating ESB's commitment to safety and minimal impact to the local community.
The construction of the Bullstown solar farm is just the first of three wholly owned solar farms being developed by ESB, representing a total investment of almost €200 million. ESB's Net Zero by 2040 strategy includes a commitment to deliver a more than five-fold increase in the renewable generation portfolio to 5GW, with solar power playing an important role in this, along with offshore and onshore wind projects, batteries and green hydrogen. The Bullstown solar farm is part of a sustained campaign by ESB to develop and build a large portfolio of solar farms on a public utility scale across the center, south and southeast of the country, moving towards the ultimate goal of achieving Net Zero by 2040.
Solar Farm: Renewable Energy Development Project
The development of solar farms has shown to be a strategy important for the renewable generation power. O contract to construction of a new solar farm was recently signed, and the substation is in the final stages of installation.

Solar Parks and Local Communities: Impact of Renewable Generation
Solar farms have positively impacted local communities, contributing to decarbonisation and to reduce dependence on non-renewable energy. The solar farm construction project is being carried out in partnership with European suppliers, which strengthens the energy source diversification strategy.
Solar Farm: Investment and Sustainability
The investment in the solar farm represents an important step in the search for energy sustainability. The construction of the solar farm is aligned with the decarbonization and emissions reduction objectives, and has generated jobs and business opportunities in local communities. Furthermore, the solar farm has the potential to increase the share of renewable energy in the energy matrix, contributing to the safety and stability of the electrical system.
