EirGrid, the operator and developer of Ireland’s electricity grid, is commissioning aerial habitat surveys in the coming weeks to inform the decision-making process for the delivery of its South Coast Offshore programme.
The public will have an opportunity to find out more about EirGrid’s plans to deliver offshore renewable energy infrastructure off the south coast of Wexford at an information event in Fethard on 12 June.
The Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications, Eamon Ryan TD, has welcomed Cabinet approval for plans to accelerate the delivery of 5GW.
