The Dublin-headquartered company, which is only a year old, yesterday announced an €850 million joint venture with South African company, Genesis Eco-Energy, which aims to build a pipeline of more than 500 megawatts of wind energy off the coast of South Africa by 2014. Construction on the first phase of the project is due to begin next year.
