Dromoland Castle, located in County Clare in western Ireland, chose to install a modern solar power system to achieve sustainable development and reduce electricity costs. This project blends environmental goals with operational advantages, providing a solution that respects the historical context while offering long-term benefits.
This installation will significantly reduce the hotel's electricity bills, meeting over 20% of the site's energy needs. It is projected to save the hotel up to €50,000 EUR annually. Over 20 years, the hotel's CO₂ emissions will be reduced by 1,500 tons, while nearly €1 million EUR in costs will be saved.
The successful installation of the power station demonstrate that renewable energy technology can be compatible with protected or historic buildings without sacrificing their traditional value.
