Development Status Consent Application Submitted correct
Comments on the StatusIn January 2012, as stated in the first report on the National Renewable Energy Action Plan, the Irish government decided not to include support for offshore wind in the Refit 2 (Renewable Energy Feed In Tariff) incentive mechanism. Consequently it is not economical to build commercial offshore wind projects in Ireland. The potential for exporting of electricity to the UK is being considered.
