Investing in communities is a key pillar of Energia Group's business strategy, and the company is proud to support initiatives that create lasting social and cultural value. In 2026, Energia Group marked its fourth consecutive year sponsoring the Wexford Community Opera programme as part of Wexford Festival Opera's 75th anniversary celebrations.

Founded in 1951, Wexford Festival Opera has grown from humble beginnings to become one of the world's leading opera festivals, making a significant contribution to the cultural life of Wexford and attracting audiences from across the globe.
Wexford Community Opera is a unique collaboration between amateur performers from the local community and professional singers and actors associated with the Festival. The programme provides opportunities for people of all ages and backgrounds to participate in opera, develop new skills and experience the arts in an inclusive and accessible way.
As part of this year's celebrations, Jodie Neary, Corporate Affairs Manager at Energia Group visited the National Opera House to attend the first performance of Still Life, a new work composed by Irish composer Ailís Ní Ríain especially for the Wexford Community Opera programme.
Jodie Neary, Group Corporate Affairs & Communications Manager said: "Energia Group are very proud to be sponsoring the community opera this year for the fourth year. It’s a key priority for us to invest in local communities and the Wexford Community Opera is a perfect fit. We want to congratulate everyone involved in Wexford Festival Opera on a successful 75th anniversary year and look forward to continuing to support initiatives that enrich local communities through culture and creativity."
