Beauchamps’ Energy & Natural Resources team was delighted to support BVG Associates, in association with Gavin & Doherty Geosolutions (GDG), in developing an interactive guide on offshore wind energy development in Ireland. This online tool is an initiative of Green Tech Skillnet in partnership with Wind Energy Ireland, and was funded by Skillnet Ireland.
This new online tool is aimed at helping members of the public better understand the opportunities presented by offshore wind energy in Ireland and will show users how an offshore wind farm is developed. The interactive guide will help individuals and communities to understand how Ireland’s newest source of energy will be designed, built and operated, along with the scale of the job opportunities it will create, and generate greater public awareness and understanding of offshore wind energy development.
Stuart Conaty, partner in our Energy and Natural Resources team, commented saying: "As Ireland's offshore regulatory framework takes shape and the industry moves into implementation mode, this tool will help to highlight the opportunities offshore wind presents across many sectors. We were delighted to collaborate with BVG Associates in developing this comprehensive guide, on the back of a successful consortium, where Beauchamps acted as the regulatory advisor."
