Construction begins at Tarbert Next Generation Power Station 🚧⚡ We’re proud to announce that full construction is now underway at our Tarbert Next Generation Power Station in Co. Kerry, a landmark €300m project and the first of its kind in Ireland to run on sustainable biofuels. ✔️ Capacity: 300MW of flexible, reliable generation ✔️ Jobs: 200 construction roles at peak, 14 permanent roles on completion ✔️ Sustainability: Powered by Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) from waste feedstocks, aligned with EU RED II standards ✔️ Future-ready: Designed for hydrogen conversion to support Ireland’s long-term climate goals This milestone marks the next chapter in Tarbert’s proud energy history, following the decommissioning of the original oil-fired plant in 2023 after more than 50 years of service. Together with our partners Ansaldo Energia and Atlantic Projects Company, we’re delivering cutting-edge infrastructure that strengthens Ireland’s security of supply and supports a renewables-led electricity system.
