Bristol Myers Squibb Ireland to power more operations with renewable electricity from Monaghan Wind Farm
This announcement confirms an expanded renewable electricity agreement with SSE that will link a significant portion of electricity demand across our Irish operations to Mullananalt Wind Farm in Co. Monaghan. The agreement connects advanced medicines manufacturing in Ireland with locally generated renewable power, supporting our sustainability and long-term operational priorities.
Under the contract extension, nearly one fifth of electricity demand across Bristol Myers Squibb’s Cruiserath, Plaza, and Shannon sites will be supplied through a corporate power purchase agreement (CPPA) linked to Mullananalt Wind Farm, located near Latton, Ballybay in Co. Monaghan. The arrangement gives us clearer traceability over part of our electricity supply through a named Irish renewable asset.
Separately, Bristol Myers Squibb Ireland’s current electricity supply agreement through the end of March 2028 ensures that 100% of our electricity demand is matched by Irish Guarantees of Origin (GoOs), backed by renewable generation assets owned and operated by SSE within Ireland. The CPPA accounts for a defined portion of that demand, while the remainder continues to be matched with Irish renewable electricity certificates.
Brian Molloy, Campus General Manager at Cruiserath Biologics Campus said: “At Cruiserath Biologics Campus, our mission to deliver life-changing medicines for patients is closely connected to our responsibility to operate sustainably and thoughtfully within the communities where we work. This expanded agreement reflects Bristol Myers Squibb’s broader commitment to reducing environmental impact, strengthening operational resilience, and embedding sustainability into business decisions. For Cruiserath, it’s another practical step in growing as a strategic biologics manufacturing campus while contributing to a more sustainable future for our employees, patients and wider society.”
Tom Shortt, Engineering Director at Cruiserath Biologics Campus said: “For engineering teams, energy reliability is central to how our sites operate. This agreement adds an important level of visibility by linking part of our Irish electricity demand to a specific wind farm in Monaghan. That makes the benefit more tangible for our employees and stakeholders and shows how operational performance and environmental progress can be advanced together.”
David Lawlor, Procurement Director at Cruiserath Biologics Campus said: “Procurement has an important role in connecting business needs with long-term value. Through our partnership with SSE, we are supporting security of supply and responsible supplier collaboration while enabling sustainability in a way that works for complex manufacturing operations.”
Russell Keating, SSE Airtricity Sales Director said: “We are pleased to continue supporting Bristol Myers Squibb Ireland through renewable electricity solutions backed by Irish generation assets. Long-term agreements such as this give major energy users greater confidence in their electricity sourcing and support continued investment in Ireland’s renewable energy infrastructure.”
This work in Ireland forms part of our wider environmental sustainability efforts. Bristol Myers Squibb has committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across our value chain by 2050 and has identified renewable energy purchasing as part of a global sustainability roadmap.
