Matheson to power premises with renewables

Matheson LLP has signed a new renewable energy agreement that will see Flogas, a DCC company, supply the firm’s Irish offices.

The renewable electricity source will be generated by Natural Forces’ Tullyhaw Wind Farm project, in Ballyconnell, Co Cavan. 

Supply

The first of its kind for an independent Irish law firm, this Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (CPPA) will provide the firm with a long-term 15-year supply of renewable electricity, reducing its carbon footprint. 

The deal will also support the construction of the Tullyhaw Wind Farm, developed by Natural Forces, to help decarbonisation of Ireland’s electricity system. 

Garret Farrelly (chair of Matheson ESG advisory group and head of the energy, natural resources and utilities group) commented: “Matheson has a long track record of advising clients on CPPAs, having advised on the vast majority of CPPAs entered into in the Irish market to date. 

“This is the first time we have negotiated a CPPA for ourselves, and it was an experience that was both challenging and exciting.”
