ESB plans to develop circa 20 to 30 ground mounted solar farms (up to circa 100 MW — with the potential that this may extend to 500MW — in aggregate) in the period from Q2, 2016 to Q4, 2021. The location of these proposed solar farms will be in both the Republic of Ireland and in Northern Ireland.
The potential scale of these individual solar developments is that they are expected to typically range between 5 MW and 20 MW. There is the potential that certain individual developments will be larger.

We wish to advise you that ESB has decided to cancel this current advertised Solar EPC Framework competition. The reasons for this decision are related to some delays in the development of Irish solar market which would mean it was unlikely that the framework as currently described would be fit for purpose. Apologies for any inconvenience this decision has caused.
ESB is still committed to the development of ground mounted solar PV sites in the future and to prepare for any future procurement competitions we intend to commence a Preliminary market consultation by publishing a Prior Information Notice (PIN) in the OJEU shortly to allow for full engagement with suppliers and other interested parties in the solar PV ground mounted market.
