Commercial and industrial (C&I) renewable energy developer Greenvolt Next has completed a 2.2MW ground-mounted PV plant in Dublin.
Built for healthcare company Astellas, the project was completed in just four months, with the C&I developer carrying out the design, installation and commissioning of the ground-mounted PV plant. It will also carry out operations and maintenance (O&M).
The project was designed with the possibility to accommodate additional inverters and also to co-locate battery energy storage on-site. The solar farm currently supplies 27% of Astellas’ electricity at the Damastown facility.
According to the company, the project included sustainability measures such as large bug hotels built using reclaimed tree stumps, the installation of several bat boxes, and a significant number of native Irish trees planted to promote local ecology and support long-term biodiversity on the site.

Gino Gautier, Global CEO DG of the Greenvolt Group, said: “This project shows how efficiently we can deliver on-site solutions at this level. In just four months, we supported Astellas in reducing its energy costs and improving predictability in a context of continued market uncertainty.
“The ability to combine speed with high-quality execution is increasingly important for organisations looking for these types of solutions, and we’re very pleased to meet that need.”
Part of the Greenvolt Group, Greenvolt Next operates in the distributed generation sector across 12 European markets and currently has an operational portfolio of over 405MW, with a further 1GW of signed capacity.
In Ireland, the developer targets to deliver 1GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030, which includes the construction of a 1.7MW solar carport at Cork Airport. The project is expected to reach commercial operation in two phases, with the first one this summer and the second phase by August 2027.
