Renewable energy specialist NRG Panel to create 125 jobs

Diversified renewable energy group NRG Panel plans to create up to 125 new highly skilled jobs across the island of Ireland within the next three to five years.

CEO Conor Foley said that the business is investing heavily to drive the next stage of its growth, including plans to double business within the next three years, supported by its investor – private equity firm Melior Equity Partners.

Melior Equity Partners Fund II is backed by the European Investment Fund, the Irish Strategic Investment Fund, Bank of Ireland and AIB.

The company has opened new offices in Castleblayney in Co Monaghan.

Founded in 2015 by Conal O’Reilly and Ollie Hughe, NRG Panel helps customers to improve the energy efficiency of their homes and businesses, reducing costs and carbon emissions.

It is one of the country’s leading SEAI registered solar PV, battery, EV charger and heat pump installer with over 8,000 installations nationwide.

The business employs 74 people and services the whole of the island of Ireland.

“NRG Panel is embarking on the next phase of our ambitious agenda, playing our part in Ireland’s decarbonisation journey,” CEO Conor Foley said.

“In addition to our new offices, we are making considerable investments in people and technology that we believe will allow us to attract the best people to join our team. By attracting the most talented people in the industry, we will be able to continue delivering amazing customer experiences while driving our expansion,” Mr Foley said.

“Over the next three years, we plan to cement our position as one of Ireland’s leading green energy installers, doubling our business and creating significant employment opportunities in operational, managerial and support roles as we do so,” he added.
