Ireland has an ambition to deliver at least 5 GW of installed offshore wind capacity by 2030 with a further 2 GW in development for non-grid uses, including green hydrogen. It also has a long-term target of 37 GW of installed offshore wind by 2050. This presents the challenge of meeting the growing need to train Irish workers to meet the demands of the offshore wind industry.
This report is a key output of the Skills and Workforce Workstream of the Offshore Wind Energy Programme, which outlines the activities required to drive delivery of offshore wind targets in Ireland.
It also follows on from the report Building Our Potential: Ireland’s Offshore Wind Skills and Talent Needs by BVG Associates (BVGA), in collaboration with Green Tech Skillnet, Wind Energy Ireland, Gavin and Doherty Geosolutions, and Beauchamps.
It identifies Ireland’s training provision and the potential gaps in provision, which could hinder the development of offshore wind in Ireland. This analysis informs our recommendations and skills action plan for the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science (DFHERIS).
