The Drumlins Park Wind Farm 110 kV A.I.S substation project in County Monaghan—Energia Group’s highly anticipated 49 MW wind farm is a stand out project in the Irish renewable energy sector, reinforcing the country’s commitment to achieving its ambitious climate action goals.
As a key partner in this landmark project, H&MV Engineering was proud to serve as the Project Supervisor Construction Stage (PSCS), overseeing all phases of the 110 kV substation construction and grid connection works. Our involvement encompassed the critical responsibilities of supervising the safe and successful delivery of complex infrastructure, including the transition of 110 kV overhead lines to a 110 kV grid route and the installation of all 33 kV cabling and communication systems.
This extensive work required meticulous planning, coordination, and execution, with our team leveraging their experience and expertise to ensure the project was delivered on time and in compliance with the highest safety standards. The completion of this substation is a vital component in ensuring the wind farm can efficiently transmit its 49 MW of clean energy into the national grid, contributing to Ireland’s renewable energy targets.
A Milestone for Renewable Energy and Collaboration
This project represents more than just a successful technical achievement—it marks a critical step in Ireland’s energy transformation. With Energia Group and the Energia Renewables team now celebrating the launch of their sixteenth wind farm, Drumlins Park adds significant renewable capacity to Ireland’s power grid. Their commitment to expanding Ireland’s wind energy infrastructure has been instrumental in reducing the nation’s carbon footprint and promoting the use of clean, renewable energy sources.
For H&MV Engineering, this collaboration has been yet another opportunity to contribute our expertise to projects that make a lasting impact on both local communities and the broader energy landscape. Our role as PSCS demonstrates not only our technical capabilities but also our dedication to safety, quality, and environmental sustainability. By ensuring that the substation and grid connection works were completed safely and efficiently, we have helped to ensure that the Drumlins Park Wind Farm is a success, setting a strong foundation for future renewable energy projects in Ireland.
A Sustainable Future for Ireland
The completion of the Drumlins Park Wind Farm marks a significant milestone in Ireland’s renewable energy journey. As Ireland continues to accelerate its transition to renewable energy, wind farms like Drumlins Park play a crucial role in meeting national targets set under the Climate Action Plan, which aims for 70% of electricity to come from renewable sources by 2030. The ability to integrate wind energy into the national grid is key to this transformation, and the 49 MW produced by Drumlins Park will contribute to reducing Ireland’s reliance on fossil fuels and lowering carbon emissions.
At H&MV Engineering, we recognise that the renewable energy sector is growing rapidly, and we are committed to being at the forefront of this movement. Our involvement in projects like Drumlins Park aligns with our broader mission to support the delivery of innovative, sustainable energy solutions that not only meet the needs of today but also create a more sustainable future for generations to come.
