Greencoat Renewables portfolio rises to 251MW with the acquisition.
The company funded the purchase through its €250m credit facility.
Greencoat Capital partner Paul O’Donnell said: “Ballybane is a very attractive asset with significant generating capacity and a high load factor.
“The deal represents our fourth transaction with independent developers in 2018, and following the recent Coillte announcement, further evidences the ongoing opportunity in Ireland’s secondary wind market.”
