Bord Gáis Energy to Acquire leading Irish Solar Installer Swyft Energy

Bord Gáis Energy, already active in the solar PV market through direct sales to residential customers and its partnership with the Irish Farmer’s Association, has now strengthened its capabilities by acquiring Swyft Energy.

This acquisition enhances its solar PV offerings for residential, commercial, and farming customers as part of its transition to a green energy business.

Swyft Energy, a technology-driven company specializing in solar PV and boiler installations, brings over six years of experience and a digital-first platform for customer-focused solutions. This acquisition not only boosts Bord Gáis Energy’s workforce but also improves its customer proposition.

With a goal of 10,000 installations in the next five years, Bord Gáis Energy is well-positioned to meet the growing demand for solar energy across residential, commercial, and agricultural sectors. Customers can save 50-70% on electricity bills by installing rooftop solar panels.

The transaction aligns with Bord Gáis Energy and Centrica’s capital allocation strategy, offering strong returns and future opportunities for customer-focused energy transition projects.
