An independent generator, built patiently.

BME Ltd is a County Down renewable energy company that develops, owns and operates clean generation for the long term.

Our story

Clean generation, close to home

Established in 2016, BME was founded on a simple conviction: that the cleanest, most secure electricity is generated close to where people live, from the wind and sunlight of the local landscape.

From our base in Downpatrick we develop renewable generation across County Down and the wider region — identifying good sites, designing them carefully, and seeing them through to construction and grid connection. We are an independent, director-led business under the stewardship of Mr David Napier, and we build to own rather than build to sell.

That long-term ownership shapes everything. Because we live with our decisions for the full life of an asset, we take time over siting, we invest in doing the groundwork properly, and we stay close to the landowners and communities who host our projects.

What guides us

The principles behind every project

Simple commitments that keep our work honest, local and durable.

Low-carbon first

Our purpose is to add clean, renewable capacity to the grid — nothing we do loses sight of that.

Locally rooted

A County Down company that invests in the communities and countryside where it operates.

Straightforward

Clear conversations and dependable delivery, whether with landowners, communities or the network.

In it for the long run

We keep and maintain what we build, so reliability and stewardship come as standard.

Where we work

County Down and the wider region

Home for BME is Downpatrick, and County Down is where our roots run deepest — but our work extends across Northern Ireland wherever the wind, the sunlight and the grid make a project viable.

We understand rural land, agricultural neighbours and the practical realities of connecting to the network in this part of the world. That local knowledge helps us design generation that fits its surroundings and earns a lasting welcome.

  • Based in Downpatrick, working across County Down and beyond.
  • Wind and solar assets suited to the Northern Ireland landscape.
  • Partnership with landowners, communities and network operators.

Let’s talk about clean generation

We are always glad to hear from landowners, communities and partners with an interest in renewable energy.
