ERG Files Plans for Northern Ireland Wind Farm Extension
ERG has submitted a planning application to Northern Ireland’s Department for Infrastructure for an extension to its existing Evishagaran Wind Farm. The proposal would expand the renewable energy development and increase clean electricity generation from the site. The planned extension reflects ERG’s continued investment in onshore wind and comes as Northern Ireland seeks to increase renewable generation and reduce reliance on fossil-fuel electricity. Expanding an established wind farm can also allow developers to benefit from existing infrastructure while adding new generating capacity. The application will now move through the planning process, where potential environmental, landscape and infrastructure impacts will be assessed before a final decision is made. The project would further strengthen ERG’s renewable energy portfolio and contribute to Northern Ireland’s longer-term decarbonisation objectives.
ib vogt Energises 99 MW Philippines Solar Farm
German solar developer ib vogt has started commercial operations at the 99-MWp Tantangan Solar Power Plant in South Cotabato, Philippines. The milestone adds significant new utility-scale renewable generation to the country’s electricity system and strengthens ib vogt’s presence in the fast-growing Asia-Pacific solar market. The project will generate clean electricity from solar energy, helping diversify the Philippines’ power mix while supporting efforts to reduce dependence on fossil-fuel generation. The start of commercial operations also demonstrates continued investment in large-scale photovoltaic infrastructure as the Philippines works to expand renewable capacity and meet rising electricity demand. Tantangan forms part of the broader acceleration of solar development across Southeast Asia, where improving energy security and lowering power-sector emissions remain key priorities.
