The Clogherhead Offshore Wind project has been developed over recent years by ESB and Parkwind, with significant progress in various aspects of the project, including site investigations, environmental assessments and community engagement. The site investigation activities includes comprehensive offshore surveys with geophysical and MetOcean surveys campaigns completed during 2022 and 2023. This data will inform site understanding and design activities for the Clogherhead site. There are no further surveys planned for Clogherhead while the project awaits further policy clarity from the government regarding the location of Designated Martine Area Plans (DMAPs). This is part of the government’s plan-led approach to the delivery of offshore wind in Ireland.
ESB and Parkwind believe the Clogherhead site is optimally suited for the delivery of offshore wind in Ireland and continue to monitor any government announcements in relation to any possible East Coast DMAPs which will allow for further development of the Clogherhead project.
