• Pinergy forecasts a 4-fold increase in commercial energy export volumes between 2026 and 2030.
• Appointment strengthens support for Small-Scale Generators selling excess electricity back to the grid.

Pinergy, the energy transition company, has today announced the appointment of Mar Muñoz as Generation Specialist, to lead its commercial generation service and expand support for small-scale renewable energy producers across their end-to-end generation journey.

The appointment comes during sharp growth in commercial electricity exports. Since 2023, the volume of electricity exported to Pinergy by its small-scale generation customers has risen by roughly 400%. Pinergy forecasts a further 4-fold increase in commercial energy export volumes between 2026 and 2030, driven by businesses with existing on-site generation (including solar PV, wind, and Combined Heat and Power units) looking to sell unused power.

Pinergy is seeing a growing number of businesses with self-generation assets already in place that are not yet exporting or fully utilising their excess electricity. This represents a significant untapped opportunity for commercial energy generators.

Muñoz will direct Pinergy’s services across micro-generation, small-scale assets, and Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs). She also manages Guarantees of Origin (GOs) and Green Certificates, which businesses use to confirm renewable energy credentials. In her role she will support businesses in evidencing renewable energy attributes and their renewable energy commitments. Muñoz brings 8 years of international energy market experience across Spain and Ireland, with a background in renewable strategy, business development, energy efficiency, and auditing.

Commenting on her appointment, Mar Muñoz said: “I am delighted to join Pinergy at a time when the Irish energy market is shifting rapidly and embracing decentralised generation. Thousands of businesses across Ireland have invested in clean energy assets, but many find the technical and administrative steps required to sell back excess electricity to be overly complex. My priority is to streamline this for our clients, ensuring their renewable investments deliver clear operational and financial returns by turning unused energy into a reliable revenue stream while also managing the renewable certification associated with their generation to support their broader decarbonisation goals.”  

Tadhg Gunnell, Chief Procurement and Regulation Officer at Pinergy, said:

“Pinergy is committed to supporting businesses through Ireland’s energy transition, and small-scale generators are an increasingly important part of that landscape. Mar’s appointment strengthens our specialist capability and gives these generators access to dedicated expertise across the full journey from setup and export through to ongoing support and renewable certification.

“Our aim is straightforward: to make it easier for generators to navigate the market, manage their renewable assets effectively and have the right evidence in place to support their sustainability and compliance requirements.”

The new specialist service is open to commercial generators across Ireland, including non-Pinergy electricity customers.

Mar, originally from Spain but residing in Dublin, holds an MBA in Digital Marketing from IMF Business School, a Master’s Certification in Business Analysis from Nebrija University, and a degree in Business Administration from Universidad Pablo de Olavide in Seville.
