About DP Energy Ireland Ird

DP Energy Ireland Ltd (DPE) was formed with the specific objective of promoting the development and use of energy from renewable and sustainable resources particularly wind and biomass.

Sustainability has been defined as development which meets present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

DPE is a small private limited company wholly owned by Maureen De Pietro (MDP) and Simon De Pietro (SDP) both of whom are active directors of the company.

DPE is a wind farm development company, which operates predominantly in Ireland and the UK. The directors have been actively involved in developing wind projects for a period of over 10 years with successes in both planning permissions and obtaining power contracts through the Non Fossil Fuel Obligation (Northern Ireland, and England & Wales), and Alternative Energy Requirement. (These are 15 year Power Purchase Agreements awarded based on cost/kWh and technical capability).

For projects in Ireland DPE acts as an independent developer and develops and builds wind farms for project specific special purpose companies set up by its Directors. In Scotland, England and Wales DPE has a development agreement with Scottish and Southern Energy Generation Ltd (a generation arm of Scottish and Southern Energy PLC) but also acts independently outside this agreement to develop its own projects.

DPE is currently progressing a further 80MW of projects in Ireland (North and South), and around 300MW in the UK.
