Norwegian - Irish Offshore Wind Forum

Why attend?

Emerging market in our “backyard”: From an almost standing start, the Irish government has set a target of 5 GW of offshore wind by 2030. With the passage of the Marine Area Planning Bill in December-21, a critical development in the progression of Offshore Wind projects in Irish Waters, developers of up to 4.2GW of fast-tracked projects in Ireland are actively progressing a successful ORESS (Renewable Electricity Support Scheme) outcome. This development is good news for the Norwegian supply chain.

Perfect timing for “Route to market”. This is an excellent time for Norwegian companies to engage with key players in the Irish Offshore Wind market. Developers of these ‘Phase 1’ fast-tracked projects include the Codling Wind Park - a 50/50 joint venture between Fred. Olsen Renewables and EDF Renewables. With an estimated total installed capacity of between 900 MW and 1,500 MW, when operational, Codling Offshore Park will be the largest offshore windfarm in Ireland.
