Rosslare main base for offshore wind construction in Ireland

Tuesday, April 26 2022

Wind Energy – Offshore Wind Hub

The Irish port of Rosslare is to invest €200m in making itself the country’s main base for offshore wind farm construction.

Ireland aims to generate 80% of its energy from renewable sources by 2030.

The port is located on Ireland’s east coast in County Wexford, about 120km south of Dublin.

Glenn Carr, the general manager of Rosslare Europort, commented to local media: “It is clear that not only is Rosslare Europort uniquely placed to support the development of the industry, but that this development can be a transformative one for the southeast region.”

To prepare for this role, the port will carry out dredging, build a control centre, construct a quay and set aside 50 acres for storage.
