ESB Partners With Cariolis Energy

Irish energy firm ESB has announced a development partnership with Cariolis Energy.

The partnership has a number of development schemes with a projected capacity of up to 400 MW across nine projects.

This will potentially translate into an overall capital investment of approximately £600 million.


The majority of projects within the portfolio are located in Scotland but opportunities for new windfarm developments will be pursued throughout the UK.

Pat O'Doherty, ESB Chief Executive said: "ESB is delighted to be making this agreement as the Coriolis Energy team have significant experience in wind energy projects that will complement ESB's existing expertise and experience of developing and operating projects in UK and Irish markets. This partnership gives us an opportunity to increase our presence and capability in onshore wind in the UK through high quality projects."
