Garrett's experience

  • Advised AIB on a Corporate Power Purchase Agreement with NTR plc to buy energy from two new solar farms which will provide 80% of AIB’s energy requirements.

  • Advising a joint venture between Irish based developer BNRG Renewables and French developer Neoen International on the financing for Hilltown, Hortland and Millvale solar farms in Irish counties: Meath, Kildare and Wicklow. This is the second portfolio of solar projects to reach financial close in Ireland. The solar farms are supported under the Irish government scheme for renewables and have a combined capacity of 58 Megawatts.

  • Advised crew transfer vessel owner and operator Farra Marine on Ireland's first next generation wind farm service craft, the Farra Orla. This is the first of the next generation crew transfer vessel (CTV) to operate from Ireland. We advised Farra Marine on the financing, construction and acceptance of its maiden CTV. This work is a real example of the emergence of an indigenous supply chain in the Irish offshore wind sector.
