DP Energy and Iberdrola have announced that they appointed Fehily Timoney and Company, together with Intertek and MarineSpace, to lead the production of an Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIAR) for the proposed 1 GW offshore wind project in Ireland.
The Shelmalere Offshore Wind Farm is a fixed-bottom offshore wind project located off the coasts of Wicklow and Wexford. The project is currently in its early development stage, with ecology surveys underway and site investigation surveys being planned.
Once operational by 2030, it will generate enough green energy to power the equivalent of nearly 860,000 homes. The farm will significantly contribute to Ireland’s Climate Action Plan target of 80% renewable electricity by 2030.
