The Exciting Potential of Offshore Wind Energy

When energy is abundant, prosperity follows.

Ireland has a history of early adoption of new sources of energy.

We built the Ardnacrusha hydro electric power station in the 1920s. 

Bellacorrick, Ireland’s first commercial scale wind farm was built in 1992. 

Now … Ireland is looking to offshore wind energy.

With a vast offshore territory, Ireland has huge potential to generate renewable energy off our coasts.  

We are leaders in integrating wind energy on to our electricity grid, and offshore wind energy will make Ireland energy independent. But the decisions we make now will decide when.
