Italy-based Alerion Clean Power has acquired the 14-megawatt (MW) Milestone wind farm in County Tipperary, marking the company’s entry into the Irish renewable energy market, it said on Thursday.
The transaction was completed through Alerion Ireland, a wholly owned subsidiary, and signed with SUSI Cappawhite Holding, part of the SUSI Renewable Energy Fund II managed by Swiss investment firm SUSI Partners.
The Milestone facility consists of four Vestas V105 turbines of 3.6MW each and was commissioned in 2018. It operates under Ireland’s REFIT scheme, which provides a guaranteed minimum price for electricity while allowing for additional revenues based on market rates.
The wind farm is expected to produce around 40 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of electricity annually—enough to power approximately 15,000 homes—and avoid more than 16,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions each year.
Alerion said the deal supports its 2025–2028 industrial plan, which targets increased installed capacity and a broader international presence.
“The acquisition of the Milestone wind farm marks Alerion’s first investment in Ireland and represents a further step in the group’s international growth strategy,” the company said in a statement.
