Kilkenny man Adrian Costigan
Kilkenny man Adrian Costigan has been appointed new managing director of Woodco Renewable Energy, a leading Tipperary-based provider of biomass heating and commercial solar PV solutions, effective immediately.
With over 20 years of experience in energy, sustainability, and technology innovation, Adrian — a native of Ballyfoyle who has returned home in recent years with family after years in the United Arab Emirates — has a proven track record in leading commercial strategy and scaling clean technology businesses in Ireland and overseas, primarily in Dubai.
Prior to joining Woodco, which is headquartered in Donaskeigh in Tipperary, he served as Chief Commercial Officer at Waterford-based NEG8 Carbon, where he played a key role in commercialising Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology for carbon removal.
As managing director, Adrian will lead the expansion of Woodco’s biomass and solar energy divisions, focusing on increasing commercial adoption, driving product innovation, and strengthening partnerships in key markets, among them Agriculture, Construction, Education, Healthcare, Manufacturing and Pharma.
He says he will also reinforce Woodco’s commitment to delivering reliable, low-carbon heating and energy solutions for businesses and communities.
“Woodco has built a strong reputation in the renewable energy sector, and I look forward to working with the team to build on that success and grow the business further,” said Adrian Costigan, Managing Director, Woodco Renewable Energy.
“Adrian’s experience in project execution and commercialising clean technologies makes him the ideal leader to drive Woodco’s next phase of growth and innovation in the renewable energy sector,” said Chris O’Callaghan, chairperson, Woodco Renewable Energy.
Woodco Renewable Energy is Ireland’s leading provider of biomass heating and commercial solar PV solutions. With nearly two decades of experience, the company manufactures and supplies biomass boilers across Ireland, the UK, Europe, North America, and New Zealand.
Through its Solarco division, Woodco also delivers solar PV solutions to help businesses improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions.
