Ireland has a target to reach 80% renewable electricity by 2030. However at Net Zero Energy, we are aiming one step further and supporting projects which can help Ireland reach a 100% decarbonised or green power system by 2035.
Our team members each have nearly 20 years’ experience in the Irish onshore wind, offshore wind, solar, battery storage, interconnection and synchronous condenser space. We are a Cork-based firm which specialises in creating and delivering energy projects, often based on novel technologies or approaching the market in new ways.
