Onshore Wind
Statkraft is a leading developer, owner, and operator of onshore wind energy in Ireland, playing a central role in the country’s transition to a low-carbon future.
Statkraft’s onshore wind strategy is underpinned by a commitment to sustainability, community engagement, and innovation with Ireland being one of the selected growth markets for this technology
Ireland has an excellent resource in terms of wind energy and therefore as a country, it has a significant opportunity to transition away from fossil fuel based electricity generation through the harnessing of its natural wind resource.
Statkraft has developed a competitive position within wind power and has a proven track record of delivering construction projects on cost and time.
Wind farm projects in Ireland
Moanvane Wind Farm project
Construction was completed on this project in 2024. This project consists of 12 turbines with a maximum tip height of 169m and has an associated 6km amenity walkway.

How our wind farms work
Wind turbines produce electricity by converting the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical power. The rotor blades on a wind turbine transfer the power of the wind via a drive shaft to a generator in the nacelle. The rotor blades are adjustable to produce the largest amount of electricity, regardless of whether the wind is blowing hard or gently. Wind turbines are typically placed on hill tops or in coastal areas – places with abundant and stable wind.
Our wind power ambitions
We exist to lead the shift to a clean energy world. To meet the increased need for renewable energy solutions we are ramping up as a major wind and solar developer. We have built 1.5 gigawatts of wind and solar, and have yet another gigawatt in the pipeline. Our ambition is to develop 3 gigawatts of renewables by 2030.
