Basic Info

Copper Coast Renewables was established in Waterford in 2023 with a purpose rooted in legacy, responsibility, and forward-thinking innovation. More than a new entrant to the renewable energy sector, the company represents the continuation of a family tradition that has helped power Ireland for generations. This heritage began with the development of the country’s high- and medium-voltage electricity networks and continues today through a renewed focus on building the clean energy systems that will define Ireland’s future.

At the centre of the business is a deeply held belief that energy is not simply a commercial pursuit, but a vocation. This ethos shapes every aspect of Copper Coast Renewables’ work, from project selection and development to long-term partnerships and delivery. The company’s approach combines decades of technical knowledge with a modern, agile mindset, allowing it to respond to the rapidly evolving demands of the renewable energy landscape while remaining grounded in proven engineering expertise.

Founder Luke Deasy grew up immersed in the electrical engineering sector, influenced by his father’s own involvement in Ireland’s national grid infrastructure. This early exposure developed into a professional career in the high-voltage sector following his university studies, where he gained first-hand experience in the systems and standards that underpin reliable energy supply. Today, that same drive fuels Copper Coast Renewables’ work, ensuring that every project is approached with a strong emphasis on quality, safety, and long-term performance.

Copper Coast Renewables specialises in the development and delivery of solar PV, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and wind energy projects. The company provides a comprehensive, end-to-end service, guiding projects from initial feasibility and site assessment through planning, grid connection, construction, commissioning, and operational management. This holistic approach allows clients and partners to benefit from a streamlined process, reduced risk, and a clear line of accountability throughout the lifecycle of each project.

Since its establishment, the company has experienced rapid and sustained growth. Within a short time, Copper Coast Renewables has built a development pipeline exceeding 24 megawatts and has successfully delivered more than 20 projects across Ireland and the UK. Among these is the landmark 14 MW Monroe Solar Farm, a significant achievement that demonstrates both the company’s technical capability and its ability to deliver large-scale renewable infrastructure projects.

The organisation’s achievements to date have been recognised through a number of prestigious awards at both national and international level. These include the SFA National Small Business Award for Best New Emerging Business in 2025, the FS Sustainable Investment Award in 2024, and the Corporate LiveWire Energy Company of the Year (Republic of Ireland) Award.

Looking ahead, Copper Coast Renewables remains focused on expanding its role within Ireland’s transition to a low-carbon economy. The company sees renewable energy not as a departure from the past, but as a natural evolution of its longstanding commitment to keeping Ireland powered. By combining heritage, technical excellence, and a future-focused mindset, Copper Coast Renewables is positioned to contribute meaningfully to the development of resilient, sustainable energy infrastructure.

The company’s mission is clear: to deliver renewable energy projects that are commercially viable, technically robust, and environmentally responsible. Through collaboration, innovation, and a strong sense of purpose, Copper Coast Renewables aims to play a key role in shaping a cleaner energy future across Ireland and beyond.
