Ireland is a world leader in onshore wind energy and the integration of renewable power. Ireland has now passed the 5 GW mark for operational onshore wind, with a growing pipeline of onshore wind projects looking to contribute to our 2030 targets. We have some of the best offshore wind resources on the planet. Our first offshore projects are now in the planning system and we have new offshore and onshore auctions planned for 2025.

The South Coast Designated Maritime Area Plan (DMAP), Ireland’s first sub-national, forward maritime spatial plan for offshore renewable energy proposed by the State, was formally adopted in October 2024.  The  DMAP sets out  4 maritime areas for future offshore wind development off the South Coast of Ireland. A roadmap for future DMAPs which will support further offshore wind deployment is currently being developed.

We have a Government committed to our clean energy future, an industry determined to deliver it, a national industrial strategy for offshore wind that will put Ireland at the forefront of Europe’s energy transformation and a Future Framework setting out a policy vision for wind energy post 2030.

Ireland is a huge opportunity for investors and the supply-chain, arguably the best untapped offshore wind resource in the world, with a skilled workforce, decades of experience in onshore energy and a supportive policy framework.

Our electricity grid is being reinforced, our planning system is being reformed, Ireland is accelerating the delivery of our renewable energy potential and we are inviting you to join us in Dublin this October.

Our Wind Energy Expo Ireland will bring together the key players in the global renewable energy supply chain with the Irish leaders, businesses and innovators that are driving our own energy transformation.

We will make Ireland energy independent. We will cut our carbon emissions and we will ensure Irish people have an affordable, secure, supply of clean electricity for their homes and families.
