Environmental consultants appointed for 1 GW floating Offshore wind project in Ireland
DP Energy and Iberdrola have appointed Royal HaskoningDHV together with Mott MacDonald to lead the production of a comprehensive Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIAR) for the Inis Ealga Marine Energy Park project off the south coast of Ireland.
The 1,000 MW (1GW) floating offshore wind project is currently in its early development stage, with ecology surveys underway and site investigation surveys being planned. Once operational, the floating offshore wind farm will generate enough green energy to power the equivalent of nearly 860,000 Irish homes.
Royal HaskoningDHV and Mott MacDonald will deliver a full Environmental Impact Assessment Report to examine the potential impacts of the proposed development on the surrounding environment including sea, land and wildlife throughout the project lifecycle from site investigations to construction and right through to operation and eventual decommissioning of the wind farm.
