Now is the right time for sourcing opportunities, building the network and laying the foundations for what looks like along and prosperous future of offshore wind in Ireland. Ireland’s offshore wind market is relatively speaking in an emerging state. Yet, there are few places in the world, where the prospects for offshore wind development (and particularly floating and hydrogen) are as plentiful.

With a sea area seven times its landmass, and with one of the best offshore renewable energy resources globally, Ireland has very significant potential in utilizing these resources to generate carbon-free renewable electricity.

The Government commits to at least 5GW of offshore wind energy generation by 2030, ramping up to 35GW by 2050. However, the potential is much higher; estimates range from 70 – 100 GW of (mainly floating) offshore renewable energy post 2030. This provides Ireland with the opportunity to become a major exporter of green energy, powering much of Europe by 2050 via wind generated electricity and hydrogen.

Now is the time to capitalize on your business opportunities, therefore we decided to participate in the second edition of the Wind Energy Trade Show, organized by Wind Energy Ireland (WEI).
