SSE to develop solar and battery co-location project at Wexford wind farm

Operating since 2026, the wind farm has the capacity to power almost 18,000 homes annually 

The new plans are part of SSE's wider clean energy strategy which also include doubling the company's renewable energy capacity by 2026.

Energy operator SSE Renewables has announced its first solar energy and battery co-location project in Ireland, choosing its existing southeast wind farm for the development.

The company plans to build a solar farm and 10MW/2hr battery energy storage system on its 18-turbine Richfield Wind Farm at Bridgetown in County Wexford.
