IFA and Bord Gais Energy Announce Winner of Solar Competition

IFA and Bord Gáis Energy are delighted to announce that Ann Keohane, from Crosses, Innishannon, Co. Cork, has been selected as the winner of their joint solar competition.

Ann, a dairy farmer, receives €5,000 off the cost of the installation of her rooftop solar system. The competition was open to all farmers who ordered solar installations from IFA and Bord Gáis Energy in the last tranche of TAMS.

IFA Treasurer Patrick McCormick said, “We are thrilled to present Ann with this prize, which will support her in harnessing renewable energy on her farm. Rooftop solar is an increasingly important part of Irish agriculture, and it is fantastic to see farmers like Ann leading the way in embracing sustainable solutions”.

James Kelly, IFA’s Director of Organisation, added, “This competition highlights the commitment of IFA and Bord Gáis Energy to supporting farmers in transitioning to renewable energy. With energy costs continuing to be a challenge for farm families, investments in solar technology can provide long-term savings and environmental benefits. Farmers can now take advantage of Government grants that support the installation of solar panels, further reducing costs and enhancing sustainability”.

John Cussen, Bord Gáis Energy said, “Through our solar partnership with IFA, we’re supporting farmers to embrace renewable energy in a way that delivers real benefits. By winning this competition, Ann will enjoy the many advantages of our solar rooftop solution, including potential savings of up to €200,000 over the system’s lifetime.  Solar power is a smart investment for the future, and we’re proud to support Ann on her net zero journey”.

The event marks another milestone in the ongoing partnership between IFA and Bord Gáis Energy, which aims to empower farmers with practical and cost-effective renewable energy solutions.
