Alerion strengthens its presence in the Great Britain and Ireland area

Alerion Clean Power S.p.A. is decisively implementing its 2025–2028 Industrial Plan, with the clear goal of consolidating its leadership in the European renewable energy landscape. Geographic expansion is a cornerstone of this strategy, and the Great Britain and Ireland region continues to be a high-potential market in which the Group is investing significantly. While the entry into Ireland with the acquisition of the Milestone wind farm marked a point of no return, it is the project in Wales that demonstrates the vision for future growth and the commitment to technological innovation.

The Pilot Project in Wales: 35 MW of Cutting-Edge Technology

The true strategic novelty under development is located in Wales, where Alerion, through its subsidiary Alerion UK Ltd, is advancing a significant onshore wind project in Neath Port Talbot.

This facility, currently in the pre-construction phase, is set to become one of the cornerstones of Alerion’s installed capacity in the United Kingdom:

  • Significant Capacity: The wind farm will have an installed capacity of 35 MW.
  • Massive Production: The estimated annual production is around 100 GWh, a significant contribution to the local energy grid.
  • Innovation: The project includes the installation of state-of-the-art turbines, a key element reflecting Alerion’s constant focus on the most efficient and high-performing technologies.

Investing in a greenfield project of this scale in Wales underscores Alerion’s commitment to not just acquisitions but actively developing and building new high-impact strategic assets.

 

The GB & Ireland Area: A Hub of Sustained Growth

The Welsh project, with its impressive estimated production of 100 GWh, perfectly complements the recent operation completed in neighboring Ireland.

A few days ago, Alerion finalized the acquisition of the Milestone Wind Farm Ltd (14.4 MW, County Tipperary). The Irish facility immediately adds 40 GWh of annual production (equivalent to over 16,000 tons of avoided CO₂) under the REFIT incentive scheme, providing stability.

The combination of these two projects – one operational and the other in advanced development – creates a solid growth platform in the area, essential for achieving the Group’s ambitious goals. Indeed, the expansion into the United Kingdom and Ireland is a significant milestone in the implementation of the 2025–2028 Industrial Plan, which aims for sustained growth in installed capacity and further consolidates Alerion’s position as a leading European operator in the renewable energy sector.

Alerion is not only becoming larger but also more strategic and geographically diversified, leveraging wind energy to build a cleaner energy future across Europe.
