of Europe’s leading engineering andconsultancy organisations.



Eetiity Sppy Boa (ESB)

As Ireland’s premier integrated utility in operation since

1927 ESB is the owner, developer and operator o over

4000MW o generation capacity in Ireland, as well as

signicant capacity overseas. ESB’s generating stations

include gas-red conventional and combined cycle, coal-

red, oil-red, peat-red, as well as wind, biomass and

hydro/pumped storage. ESB employs approximately 8,000employees with revenue totalling €3.5 billion.

ESB Iteatioa (ESBI)

ESBI is wholly owned by ESB. We are part o its non-

regulated business and operate across a wide area o the

energy industry.

ESBI invests in, develops, owns, operates and maintains

power stations both nationally and internationally and also

trades electricity in competitive European energy markets.

To date, ESBI has completed projects in over 115 countries.The extensive experience gained in our 80 year history has

been the basis or the Operations & Maintenance (O&M)

and engineering services provided to clients worldwide in the

power utility business.

We are pioneers in combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT)

technology with a world-renowned reputation or unrivalled

engineering excellence. ESBI oers a ull range o

engineering and O&M solutions as well as consultancy

services to the global energy market.

Employing approximately 1,200 proessional sta betweenour oces in Ireland and abroad, we have active operations

in over 20 countries, including strategic operation and

maintenance contracts totalling over 5,500MW.

In addition to investments in over 2,300MW o installed

capacity and a similar amount in development, ESBI has

approximately 300MW o renewable wind energy plant

installed and under construction and a urther pipeline o

740MW planned or Ireland, UK and Spain.

ESBI’s major markets are Western Europe (UK and Spain),

Southern Arica, South East Asia and the Middle East. As

well as our capabilities in the development and management

o power generation assets, ESBI also delivers high quality

consulting services to clients in the areas o strategic

planning, environmental services and sustainability.

In 2008, ESB announced a Strategic Framework to 2020,

embarking on a €22 billion capital investment programme

that will see the company deliver one-third o its electricity

rom renewable generation, including over 1,400MW o wind

as well as wave, tidal and biomass.

The strategy will also see the company halve its carbon

emissions within 12 years and achieve carbon “net-zero” by

2035. In order to achieve these aims, ESBI is participating in

projects related to the latest energy and carbon technologies

such as carbon capture and storage (CCS) and solarphotovoltaic (PV/Thermal) as well as adding to its renewables

portolio; increasing energy eciency within its existing

portolio and investing in carbon credit emission reduction

projects via ESBI Carbon Solutions.

ESBI Carbon Solutions



Our business strategy is to work inpartnership with local and international

asset owners in developing countriesto develop and invest in projects.

As part o ensuring a sustainable energy uture, ESBI

invests in and develops carbon emission reduction

projects under the UN Clean Development Mechanism

(CDM) through the Carbon Solutions team.

We bring value to projects rom both a technical and

commercial perspective, so that the ull carbon credit

potential o the asset is realised.

ESBI Carbon Solutions operates primarily in the South

– East Asian and Southern Arican regions, however we

also look at potential opportunities in the Middle East and

Latin America.

Our partners are large energy suppliers, users and/

or developers o new installed capacity and we are

particularly interested in renewable, energy efciency and

methane to energy projects.
