The backers of one of Ireland’s largest planned offshore windfarms off the coast of Cork and Waterford are targeting a 2026 start. Public consultation opened recently on the foreshore application for the Inis Ealga windfarm. The company develops, builds, and manages renewable energy projects such as wind, tidal, and solar energy, as well as provides operation and maintenance services. The site lies partly within the 12 nautical miles limit for a foreshore application and partly outside of the 12nm limit. The public consultation period for the foreshore application closes on April 10.
