Netherlands Lounge @ Wind Energy Trade Show Ireland
2025-10-22 - 2025-10-23 | Dublin, Dublin, Ireland
Wind Energy Ireland Trade Show 2025, a world-class event that will take place on October 22-23, 2025, at the RDS Main Arena in Dublin, Ireland. This event is a must-attend for anyone involved in the renewable energy sector, offering unparalleled opportunities to connect, learn, and innovate.
Ireland is a global leader in onshore wind energy and the integration of renewable power, with some of the best offshore wind resources on the planet. The first offshore wind projects are entering the planning system, and new offshore and onshore auctions are set for 2024 and early 2025.
Ireland is finalizing the South Coast Designated Maritime Area Plan (DMAP), the first sub-national maritime spatial plan for offshore renewable energy. This draft DMAP identifies four maritime areas for future offshore wind development off the South Coast of Ireland.
The Government has committed to at least 5GW of offshore wind energy generation by 2030, ramping up to 35GW by 2050, with potential estimates ranging from 70-100 GW post-2030. ]
This substantial potential positions Ireland to become a major exporter of green energy, powering much of Europe by 2050 via wind-generated electricity and hydrogen. Now is the perfect time to source opportunities, build networks, and lay the foundations for a prosperous future in offshore wind in Ireland. Therefore we decided to participate in the third edition of the Wind Energy Trade Show, organized by Wind Energy Ireland (WEI).
