Irish renewable energy services provider Galetech Group has announced a £3 million (approximately €3.6 million) investment to expand its operations across the UK, according to Think Business. The Cavan-headquartered company plans to create up to 30 roles over the next five years as the UK accelerates its clean energy infrastructure delivery.

Think Business reported that the commitment was made during the second UK-Ireland Summit in Cork, where 15 Irish companies collectively announced £937 million (approximately €1.12 billion) in new UK investments and 850 jobs.

The investment supports the UK's Clean Power 2030 Action Plan and comes as the country's grid connections reform programme begins to reorder and accelerate the project pipeline. Galetech already holds a foothold in the UK through its stake in Adamas Wind, a Northampton-based operations and maintenance provider that monitors and maintains more than 1 gigawatt of renewable assets.

Darren Sherry, chief executive of Galetech Group, said: "The UK's connections reform programme is re-ordering and accelerating the grid queue. This will prioritise deliverable projects aligned with Clean Power 2030, creating immediate demand for partners who can reduce delivery friction across planning, engineering, compliance, commissioning and lifecycle optimisation."

Sherry added that the investment would focus on solar and battery energy storage systems momentum across Scotland, the Northeast, and the Southwest of England, regions identified as priority growth corridors linked to grid reinforcement activity.

Kara Owen, Britain's ambassador to Ireland, said: "I am delighted to welcome Galetech Group's announcement of their £3 million investment and plans to create up to 30 highly skilled roles as they scale their UK renewables capability over the next five years."

Galetech Group employs more than 160 people across Ireland, the UK, and Africa, with over 25 years of experience across renewable energy development, engineering, and operations.
