POWER: Ireland to Fund Connection Points for over 3GW of Offshore Wind
POWER
Ireland will support domestic TSO Eirgrid to install grid connections for its Phase 1 offshore wind farms – which would see over 3GW of capacity built- through €750mn of funding, it said, cited by Renews.biz.
- The auction secured over 3GW of capacity from four offshore wind projects at an average of €86.05/MWh. This will deliver over 12 TWh/yr of power.
- The cash will come from the sale of the state’s shares in bank AIB, according to the energy department DECC.
