Powering Up: The Largest Northern Ireland solar farm
Northern Ireland has completed its largest solar farm, the 50 MW Ballycumber Solar Farm, which is now generating electricity for approximately 14,000 homes. This marks a crucial step in the region’s transition to renewable energy.
This achievement aligns with global trends toward increasing solar capacity, as seen in regions like Iraq, which aims to install 12 GW of solar power by 2030, supplying 33% of its electricity needs, as discussed in this market analysis of solar panel manufacturing in Iraq. The Ballycumber Solar Farm contributes significantly to Northern Ireland’s renewable energy targets and showcases the viability of large-scale solar projects in diverse climates.
