A vision for the future of Ireland’s offshore electricity transmission has been set this week following the publication of a framework by the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications (DECC) that focuses on facilitating the expansion of offshore wind energy to help the country meet its greenhouse gas emissions targets.
According to the document, meeting the objective of 5GW of installed offshore wind generation by 2030 requires simultaneous development of various policy, legislative and regulatory workstreams.
