The project in Timahoe North will produce enough electricity to meet the annual needs of 25,000 homes
A major French renewables company will build a 108-megawatt solar farm in Kildare on behalf of the ESB and Bord Na Móna.
It marks the first large-scale solar project in a joint venture between the two bodies, as the Irish State increasingly looks to develop solar power.
Voltalia will act as the contractor for the development at Timahoe North, carrying out engineering, procurement and construction.
Once finished, the project will produce enough electricity to meet the annual needs of 25,000 homes.
ESB and Bord na Móna have agreed to develop solar power across four midlands locations in Kildare, Offaly and Roscommon.
The joint venture between the two bodies aims to collectively deliver up to 500 MW of power from solar farms based on Bord na Móna lands.
