Public consultation opens on Codling Wind Park

Codling Wind Park represents one of the largest energy infrastructure investments in Ireland this decade and is set to become Ireland’s largest offshore wind farm, being developed in the Irish Sea. The project will deliver substantial benefits to the regional and national economy, including more than 1,000 construction jobs and 70 long-term, locally-based jobs.

With the potential to generate enough locally produced renewable electricity to power the equivalent of up to 1.2 million homes annually, Codling Wind Park will support the delivery of Ireland’s Climate Action Plan targets. It will also help reduce Ireland’s reliance on imported fossil fuel-based energy and significantly improve energy security.

For a four-week period, starting today, Monday 1st March, the first phase of public consultation on the Codling Wind Park will be open to the public.  It will consist of the following:

Virtual Codling Wind Park Exhibition: this will be online from March 1 to 14 and will consist of a range of exhibition materials and visuals providing information on the project as it currently stands. It will also contain a feedback survey. It can be accessed via https://bit.ly/2O7kzxg

Codling Wind Park Webinars: members of the Codling Wind Park team will present details of the project live during two dedicated webinars on the evenings of March 9 and March 11. You can register for one of these events – during which you will also have an opportunity to ask questions via a chat box. You can register via https://bit.ly/2MBJAQT
