Framingham Clean Energy Company Acquires Irish Wind Farm

FRAMINGHAM, MA — Framingham-based clean energy company Ameresco has acquired a wind farm in Ireland, which the company said can supply power to roughly 3,000 homes in the area.

The three-turbine site is designed to deliver a total combined capacity of 5MW of clean energy. Electricity will be distributed directly into the local utility network supported by a power purchase agreement, officials said.

“Having seen first-hand the production capability of wind farms in County Cork, I am very pleased to see Ameresco complete this acquisition and further add to our diversified renewable energy asset portfolio,” said Ameresco EVP and Chief Financial Officer Doran Hole. “We’re proud to be part of the energy transition in Ireland and look forward to providing clean energy to the region in the years to come.”

“It is very gratifying to announce the acquisition of our latest site in Ireland,” said Derek Dixon, Vice President Ameresco UK. “I am grateful to our internal team and strategic external partners for coming together to successfully complete this clean energy acquisition.”

Ameresco has headquarters in Framingham, and employs more than 1,000 employees across the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.
