Bord Gáis Energy

Bord Gáis Energy has been operating since 1976 and today provides gas, electricity, and home care services to over 514,000 residential and business customers across Ireland.

As an energy services and supply company we’re committed to satisfying the changing needs of our customers and helping them transition to a lower carbon future.

In January 2025, Bord Gáis Energy secured a 10-year capacity market contract to deliver a 334MW Open Cycle Gas Turbine (“OCGT”) power station. The new power station in Galway will be capable of running on biomethane or hydrogen blend fuel and will be a critical piece of strategic infrastructure for Ireland.  Bord Gáis has also recently been awarded a 5-year capacity market contract for the existing 445MW Whitegate Combined Cycle Gas Turbine power station in Cork, which powers up to 400,000 homes, putting us at the heart of energy security and decarbonisation in Ireland. 

This is further to the investment of around €300m in two, hydrogen-capable, 100MW flexible gas peaking plants in Athlone and Dublin, which will commence exporting to the grid later this year.

In November 2024, Bord Gáis Energy announced the acquisition of Swyft Energy, with the acquisition completing in January 2025. Swyft Energy is a leading solar PV installer in Ireland and the acquisition represents an important step in our transition to a green energy business.

Our engineers also visit homes and businesses every day to help look after our customers, servicing boilers, installing the latest smart products and helping them decarbonise their lives.
