The Site
What’s signed, what’s still ahead, and where the site actually sits.
Where It Is
Kilcummin, 2.5km
north of Killarney.
The proposed solar farm designed on an 11-hectare site, built to 9.0 MW DC total capacity, with export capped at 4.99 MW under the state’s small-scale renewable scheme. Once operational, it’s projected to generate enough clean power for around 1,800 homes.
Already Signed
Full planning permission. A signed grid offer. A fixed price for 15 years.
Planning permission is granted in full, for 25 years. The connection is secured with ESB Networks to the nearby Coolcorcoran substation, a binding agreement that takes a large piece of technical and financial risk off the table before a single panel goes up. The electricity price is fixed with the government for 15 years through the SRESS scheme, so the project isn’t exposed to swings in the wholesale power market.
Delivery
Turnkey construction, priced and quoted.
Construction is estimated at roughly €7.5M, benchmarked against a per-MW cost typical for projects this size. Two full turnkey quotes have already been received from established engineering and construction firms, covering everything from the panel array to grid commissioning.
Next Up
Funding closes, then construction begins.
A term sheet is already in place with a leading EIIS fund, and individuals can now co-invest alongside it through the private placement. The remaining institutional funding lands across 2027 and 2028, alongside construction, with a smaller-minimum crowdfunding round planned to open the project to more local investors directly in 2027.
The Land
Leased from Kerry landowners, not bought from a developer.
The site is leased directly from local landowners on terms structured to convert to a market rate once the farm is generating, keeping the project’s foundations, like everything else about it, rooted in the community it serves.
Membership
Hold shares, and you’re a member.
This isn’t a passive stake in a company you’ll never hear from again. Holding shares makes you part of the community that decides how the project’s surplus is spent, alongside powering roughly 1,800 homes with clean, locally generated electricity.
