While progress is clear, challenges remain. This plan identifies 18 actions for delivery over the next 12 months.
Key priorities include:
🌬️ An Coimisiún Pleanála must be supported to deliver on its commitment to offshore wind planning decision timelines – including getting the first decision out in September;
🌬️ The CRU, EirGrid and industry must finalise all grid agreements and specifications for the existing east-coast projects so they can connect to the grid;
🌬️ Clarity is needed on Ireland’s future offshore wind pipeline, which sites will be available to progress and when;
🌬️ The Government must publish the National Ports Policy and, where a strong and credible business case is made, facilitate State investment in ports so they can build Irish offshore wind farms.
🌬️ The Government should advance plans for coastal Green Energy Parks which use offshore wind energy to attract new industries and create jobs.
