The corporate power purchase agreement (CPPA) signed by Matheson and Flogas, part of DCC plc, will provide the firm with a long-term 15-year supply of renewable electricity from Natural Forces’ Tullyhaw Wind Farm project.

The deal will support the construction of the wind farm in Ballyconnell, Co Cavan — reducing Matheson’s carbon footprint while contributing to the further decarbonisation of Ireland’s electricity system.

Garret Farrelly, chair of Matheson’s ESG advisory group and head of the energy, natural resources and utilities group, said: “This is an exciting day for the firm and one that we are very proud of.

“We are delighted to partner with Flogas on this novel agreement to power our Irish operations with renewable energy from a new-build wind farm.

“Matheson has a long track record of advising clients on CPPAs, having advised on the vast majority of CPPAs entered into in the Irish market to date.

“This is the first time we have negotiated a CPPA for ourselves, and it was an experience that was both challenging and exciting.”

Managing partner Micheal Jackson said: “Matheson remains committed to environmental, social and governance standards.

“Our cross-firm sustainability committee, one of the pillars of our impactful business programme, is tasked with implementing initiatives and setting targets to ensure that the firm meets its sustainability objectives and this landmark agreement is a step further on our sustainability and carbon reduction journey, whilst supporting Ireland’s renewable energy sector.”

Barry Murphy, energy services and renewables director at Flogas, added: “Flogas is immensely proud to partner with Matheson on this landmark corporate power purchase agreement, a true first for the Irish legal services sector.

“This collaboration underscores how innovative CPPA structures can deliver tangible benefits — from significant carbon reduction to long-term energy price predictability.

“Matheson’s commitment to sourcing renewable energy directly from Tullyhaw Wind Farm sets a powerful precedent, demonstrating how businesses can actively drive Ireland’s decarbonisation efforts through power purchase agreements.

“This is more than just an energy contract; it’s a shared vision for a sustainable future, and we are delighted to empower Matheson in its journey.”

Jonathan Wagner Coffey, director of development for Ireland at Natural Forces, said: “Tullyhaw Wind Farm marks Natural Forces’ first project in construction in Ireland.

“We are pleased to have worked with Matheson and Flogas to secure our first long term CPPA, as it marks a significant milestone in our growing pipeline and commitment to Ireland’s renewable future.”
