Swyft Energy has been acquired by Bord Gáis Energy, a significant milestone in the company’s journey to power Ireland’s transition to renewable energy. This acquisition enhances both Bord Gáis Energy’s and the wider Centrica team’s solar PV capabilities across residential, commercial, and agricultural sectors, with a shared goal of completing 10,000 installations over the next five years.
With Swyft Energy’s digital-first platform and deep industry expertise now integrated with Bord Gáis Energy’s resources and established market reach, this next chapter will significantly expand access to solar solutions nationwide. Combined strengths will enable substantial savings for customers, who could see up to 70% reductions in electricity costs, with investments typically recovered within 5–7 years and even sooner in the commercial and agricultural sectors.
This acquisition aligns with Ireland’s Climate Action Plan objective of 8 GW of installed solar capacity by 2030, and it reinforces Bord Gáis Energy’s long-term strategy to achieve net zero by 2045. Together, the companies are committed to delivering cleaner, greener energy solutions to our customers and contributing meaningfully to a sustainable future.
