From humble beginnings in 1978, established by Dermot & Nicola Herlihy, Belview Eggs has grown into one of Ireland’s leading egg producers.
With a state-of-the-art facility in Louth, and 21 production houses in total, this family run business now manages 140,000 hens across barn and free-range production systems. The operation processes an impressive 2.5 million eggs weekly, supplying major retailers like Lidl along with restaurants and local supermarkets.
As Belview Eggs grew so too did its carbon footprint.
Throughout the years the company implemented many sustainability initiatives.
But as a large-scale Irish agricultural operation, Belview Eggs faced significant and rising energy demands along with increasing operational costs.
Their key challenges included:
Additionally, Belview Eggs were seeking Bord Bia Origin Green certification.
Speaking to Origin Green, Dermot was quoted:
“Sustainability is the forefront of our business. Our goal is to produce, grade and pack the highest quality product whilst engaging with our customers as regards their targets, requirements and sustainability of our product.”
After partnering with Ohk energy, and following a detailed assessment of Belview Egg’s energy needs, we installed:
"It works very well for us…we're very happy with the solar panels."

We also provided comprehensive TAMS (Targeted Agricultural Modernisation Scheme) grant support, helping secure financial assistance for the investment.
Speaking about our agricultural grant support, Dermot notes “…he helps us along with all the paperwork for the grants.”
"We've over €100,000 saved and that's at the energy prices of 2017, not at today's prices."
