Successful auction signals bright future for Irish renewable energy

Ireland can become a powerhouse for renewable energy, says Minister Eamon Ryan, TD

The clearest signal yet that Ireland can become a renewables powerhouse arrived with Ireland's first offshore wind auction, which featured very encouraging bids for the 20-year period available.

Eamon Ryan, Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications, outlines why confidence is at an all-time high in Ireland's offshore wind energy sector.  

"Ireland's whole-of-Government approach is mobilising all relevant Departments and State agencies to maximise the potential economic and societal benefits of offshore wind," says Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications, Eamon Ryan, TD.
