Lyra Wind Farm

The proposed Lyra Wind Farm project is situated in the west of Ireland in Co. Mayo, approximately 7km southeast of Westport, and 2.2km southeast of Aghagower Village and 9.5km west of Ballintubber Village. The area under investigation is situated in the townlands of Cordarragh South, Corveagh Upper and Teevinish West. Much of the proposed turbine area is located at an elevation of between 100m and 200m above sea level.

This project is in the early stages of the development process. Consultation with key stakeholders, resource modelling, and site assessments have commenced.

Gwynt Glas Offshore Wind Farm

DP Energy Ltd is developing a 1GW floating offshore wind energy project located between the West Wales and South West coastline.

Site research and detailed studies have resulted in the identification of an area of interest. This site is being investigated by remote aerial surveys for marine mammal and bird activity.

DP Energy has started engagement with key stakeholders and is commencing wide consultation with all interested parties. Consultations will include the offshore area which is approximately 70km from the shore.

Latitude 52 Offshore Wind Farm

DP Energy Ireland is investigating the feasibility of developing a ~1GW offshore wind energy project off the east coast of Ireland, the Latitude 52 Offshore Wind Farm.

It is intended to carry out site investigations within the project area, potential export cable corridors and landfall areas to assess the site and associated seabed.

Clarus Offshore Wind Farm

Clarus Offshore Wind Farm is the name chosen for DP Energy and Iberdrola’s offshore wind farm off the coast of Counties Clare and Kerry.

Located off the West Coast of Ireland, the Clarus Offshore Wind Farm project will utilise Floating Offshore Wind (FOW) technology and upon completion, will have the potential capacity of up to 1 GW.

More information can be found on the project website here.

Shelmalere Offshore Wind Farm

Shelmalere Offshore Wind Farm is the name chosen for DP Energy and Iberdrola’s offshore wind farm off the coast of Counties Wicklow and Wexford.

Located off the East Coast of Ireland, the Shelmalere Offshore Windfarm project will utilise fixed bottom wind turbines and upon completion, will have the potential capacity of up to 1 GW.

Barlow Solar Park

DP Energy is developing two adjacent solar projects on brownfield sites in Southeast Calgary with a combined generation capacity of 64 MW.

Barlow Solar Park is the first of two adjacent solar projects being developed in Southeast Calgary on capped phosphogypsum stacks owned by Viterra Inc. Solar power generation offers a productive use of the sites that would otherwise have limited development potential. The projects will use a ballasted foundation system to ensure the integrity of the stacks are maintained and the clear, level surfaces of the sites offer an excellent installation platform.

Land Use Redesignation and Development Permit approvals were granted by the City of Calgary for the project in 2019 and the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) approval followed in 2020.

Deerfoot Solar Park

DP Energy is developing two adjacent solar projects on brownfield sites in Southeast Calgary with a combined generation capacity of 64 MW.

Deerfoot Solar is the second of two adjacent solar projects being developed in Southeast Calgary on capped phosphogypsum stacks owned by Viterra Inc. Solar power generation offers a productive use of the sites that would otherwise have limited development potential. The projects will use a ballasted foundation system to ensure the integrity of the stacks are maintained and the clear, level surfaces of the sites offer an excellent installation platform.

Land Use Redesignation and Development Permit Applications were submitted to the City of Calgary on January 29, 2021.

Saamis Solar

Saamis Solar is a 325 MW solar power project under development on an approximately 1,600-acre site within the city limits of Medicine Hat.

Medicine Hat boasts more days of sunshine per year (330!) than any other city in Canada and the Saamis Solar Par  project is situated in the north-eastern industrial sector of the city. The c.1600-acre site includes a large area of capped phosphogypsum stack and solar power generation offers a productive use of an area that would otherwise have limited development potential. The large, clear and relatively level surface of the cap is ideal for solar panel installation and the project will use a ballasted foundation system to ensure the integrity of the stacks capping is maintained.

A Development Permit for the project was granted in August 2021 and Pending regulatory approvals, construction activities are expected to begin in 2023 with a goal to be fully operational in 2024.

Inis Ealga Marine Energy Park

Inis Ealga Marine Energy Park is the name chosen for DP Energy and Iberdrola’s offshore wind farm off the coast of Counties Cork and Waterford.

Located off the South Coast of Ireland, the Inis Ealga Marine Energy Park project will utilise Floating Offshore Wind (FOW) technology and upon completion, will have the potential capacity of up to 1 GW.
