Together, BayWa r.e. and Rengen Power aim to develop and deliver 350 MW of wind capacity over the next three years and are set to play a significant role in wind farm development in Ireland.

Declan Cullinane, Country Manager Ireland, BayWa r.e. Ireland Ltd., commented: “We are delighted to expand our presence in the Irish market with this key partnership.
Passionate about providing energy sources for a low carbon future, Rengen Power is the perfect partner for us as we seek to step up our involvement in Ireland.

This will provide subsidy-free projects to support the Irish government’s ‘70% renewable by 2030’ targets and position our Irish business as a major player in the market’’ added Gordon MacDougall, Managing Director, BayWa r.e.
