Offshore wind infrastructure review (Ireland)

PROJECT
Written By Úna Brosnan

The Western Development Commission (WDC) appointed Magenta Renewables, supported by Offshore Construction Associates (OCA), to undertake a study to assess the potential infrastructure requirements needed to support future offshore wind development in the Western Region of Ireland.

The study examined key infrastructure needs across areas such as ports and the electricity transmission grid, helping to understand and identify investments requirements to enable the region to capitalise on offshore renewable energy opportunities and support sustainable regional development.
