Leinster Offshore Wind Limited
Address:
Unit 74, Penrose Wharf, Penrose Quay, Cork
Description:
The application for a foreshore licence for Leinster Offshore Wind Limited is to survey a new area for a proposed fixed foundation offshore wind project (the “Leinster Project”) in the Irish Sea approximately 14km off the east coast of Ireland. The Leinster Project would be for a development of an offshore wind farm with a likely capacity of around 500MW. The site will use fixed foundation technology (either XXL Monopiles, Jacket/Tripods or a mixture of both). These technologies are proven, fundable and available now.
The Foreshore Licence application is to undertake the surveys and site investigations to inform development and project design for the proposed site. The proposed foreshore licence area covers the wind farm array area only. A separate Foreshore Licence will be applied for to cover transmission requirements (e.g. export cables and landfall) in 2022.
