POWER
Firms ParkWind and ESB have inched closer to constructing their 375MW Oriel offshore wind project in Ireland as they plan to submit a planning application for the project this week, according to RenewablesNow.
- Construction for the project will start in 2026, with the plant operational in 2028.
- The project will consist of 25 turbines and will be located in the Irish North Sea.
- The offshore unit was unable to secure state support last year but it has still progressed with the plan to sell power directly to the Irish grid.
- Ireland anticipates installing 20GW of offshore wind capacity by 2040 and an additional 17GW by 2050.
