Ireland’s largest offshore wind project set to reveal final design

The final design for Ireland’s largest offshore wind project, Codling Wind Park, is poised to be unveiled today. The project, located off the Co Wicklow coast between Greystones and Wicklow Town, is a joint venture between Fred Olsen Seawind and EDF Renewables.

With between 60 and 75 turbines, down from previous estimates of 100, Codling Wind Park is anticipated to generate 1,300 megawatts (MW) of clean electricity, sufficient to power over one million homes. Upon completion, it will mark a significant milestone as Ireland’s largest offshore wind farm.
