The government fast tracked 3.5 GW and has a target of 5 GW by 2030. The Irish government designated Eirgrid as the TSO for offshore wind. The regime will be phased over time.
Institutional framework for offshore wind under development. Possible to start with a developer-built approach but could change.
Offshore Wind Roadmap under development. Possible to start with a developer-built approach but could change.
The 1st phase granted CfDs for 5.9 GW. Grid model is under discussion but there would be an agreement between TSO and project developers.
