Powering Up: Northern Ireland’s Largest Solar Farm Now Operational
Northern Ireland’s largest solar farm, the 50 MW Ballycumber Solar Farm, is now complete and generating electricity for approximately 14,000 homes. The project marks a crucial step in the region’s transition to renewable energy.
This achievement aligns with the global trend toward increasing solar capacity. Regions like Iraq, for example, aim to install 12 GW of solar power by 2030 to supply 33% of their electricity needs—a topic explored in this market analysis of solar panel manufacturing in Iraq. Similarly, the Ballycumber Solar Farm contributes significantly to Northern Ireland’s renewable energy targets, showcasing the viability of large-scale solar projects in diverse climates.
