Wind Energy Ireland Offshore Wind 2023 Conference

πŸ“… Tuesday 16th – Wednesday 17th May 2023
πŸ“ Dublin Royal Convention Centre, Ship Street Little, Dublin

β€œIreland’s offshore wind energy revolution starts this year. The results of our historic first offshore wind auction will be known just days before our conference in May and we expect projects to enter the planning system before the end of the year. The new Government policy for future development has caused disruption, but we will build certainty and work together to overcome any challenges.

Two decades after we built Arklow Bank Ireland is finally ready to take her place among those countries leading the response to the global climate and energy crises. We have strong projects, a robust pipeline and teams of people determined to succeed. We’re ready to get to work.”
