Advancing the Offshore Wind Opportunity: Bridging Irish and Scottish Perspectives explored opportunities for collaboration on joint initiatives and provided a forum to share expertise and develop partnerships that can maximise the economic benefit of offshore wind energy to both countries.
Irish and Scottish Ministers joined companies, researchers, and government departments and agencies in the offshore wind sector in Ireland and Scotland for the two-day event in Dublin and Cork on 12-13 June 2024.
Minister for Enterprise Trade and Employment, Peter Burke, Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications, Eamon Ryan and Minister of State for Trade Promotion, Digital and Company Regulation, Dara Calleary were joined by Scotland’s Minister for Climate Action, Gillian Martin MSP at the event, which focussed on offshore wind supply chains, RDI & skills, and regulation, planning and infrastructure across a series of policy roundtable discussions in Dublin, and an industry showcase in Cork.
Establishing this event as an annual joint event with Scotland was an action from the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment’s recently published Powering Prosperity – Ireland’s Offshore Wind Industrial Strategy.
A summary report of the inaugural event is available below.
