Greenvolt Next, part of Greenvolt Group, has today announced it has been appointed by Voltclub to construct a 12MW solar farm at Barryscourt, Co. Cork.
Voltclub is an Irish renewable energy developer and emerging independent power producer. Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Dublin, Voltclub originates, funds, develops, constructs and operates renewable energy and energy storage infrastructure.
The company is building a portfolio of grid-connected projects and renewable energy networks incorporating solar, wind, battery storage and flexible generation. Voltclub’s projects are developed with the end user and electricity system in mind, helping to increase renewable generation, manage grid constraints and support the energy requirements of large businesses.
The contract will see Greenvolt Next deliver almost 20,000 solar panels across the site, reaching a capacity of 12MW of solar energy. The project broke ground in mid-August, with completed works anticipated by September 2027.
Greenvolt Next secured the EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) contract for this project. Working in conjunction with Voltclub, who designed the project requirements, Greenvolt Next is responsible for implementation and delivery across this large-scale project, managing every aspect of the development from construction through to completion.

Ireland’s energy demands continue to grow at a considerable rate and at Greenvolt Next, we are delivering projects of scale and we’re proud of the confidence developers place in our ability to deliver projects with quality, speed and safety.”
James Goldsmith, CEO of Voltclub, “The project demonstrates our ability to take renewable energy developments from origination and consenting through financing and into construction.
“Our ambition is to build a substantial portfolio of renewable generation and energy storage assets designed around the needs of Ireland’s electricity system and its large energy users.
