PUBLISHED: 22nd November 2022

LK Shields Solicitors was delighted to have assisted Ameresco, a leading cleantech integrator specializing in energy efficiency and renewable energy and long-standing client, in the acquisition of a wind farm located in Co. Cork. This three-turbine site is designed to deliver a total combined capacity of circa 5MW of clean energy.

The project, acquired by Ameresco, will generate carbon-free energy, which will be distributed directly into the local utility network supported by a power purchase agreement. The electricity generated at the site is designed to supply approximately 3,000 homes in Ireland.  The acquisition of this wind farm continues Ameresco’s growing wind power portfolio, further expanding its generation assets outside of the United States and Canada.

The team at LK Shields was led by Philip Daly (Head of Energy) assisted by Jamie Ritchie (Construction), Jenny Ahern (Banking), and associates Elaine O’Connor (Property) Daniel Keegan (Corporate).
