There are fears of possible job cuts at energy supplier Pinergy as part of a review of its solar operations.
The firm has not said how many roles are under threat, but the Department of Enterprise has received a collective redundancy notification from Pinergy.
"The Department received a notification of proposed collective redundancies from Rookery Consulting Limited t/a Pinergy Solar on 1 October 2025," a Department spokesperson said.
Pinergy employs more than 140 people. For a business of that size, a collective redundancy notification is required if it is proposing to make 10% or more of the workforce redundant.
A spokesperson for Pinergy said it is reviewing its solar operations and how it can best serve its solar customers.
"We are strongly committed to continuing to play a key role in the Irish solar sector from our base in Enniscorthy, County Wexford," Pinergy said.
"We are currently in consultation with our staff at our solar division regarding our future plans."
"As this is an ongoing process, we have no further comment to make at this time," the company added.
Launched in 2013, Pinergy supplies green electricity and provides technology driven energy solutions, including solar PV (photovoltaic) installations, energy measurement, and electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure.
In December 2024, a majority stake in the company was bought by Sojitz group, a Tokyo-based multinational group, after it acquired the holdings of Pinergy's long term shareholders, the Coates family.
Sojitz already held several wind and solar energy generation investments across Europe, including wind generation assets in Ireland.
Last month, Pinergy announced an increase to its standard residential electricity prices from 13 October which it said will result in a 9.8% increase to the typical household bill.
