Proposed Development Activity
Description:
The Atlantic Offshore Renewable Energy 1 Project relates to an offshore floating wind farm located off the west coast of Ireland, predominantly off the coast of Mayo.
This licence, if granted, will allow Atlantic Offshore Renewable Energy 1 to carry out necessary site investigation surveys which will enable the project to confirm the most suitable site and design for offshore wind energy production off the coast of Mayo.
The objective of the site investigation work is to understand site conditions including benthic characteristics, bathymetry, underlying geology, existing tidal conditions, and environmental characteristics.
It should be noted the Foreshore Acts 1933 to 2014 allows for the granting of Investigatory Foreshore Licences inside the 12NM limit and, as such, this application relates only to the area within that jurisdiction.
Location:
Off County Mayo
