SSE Renewables has kicked off a public consultation process in the South Wicklow and North Wexford areas for the Arklow Bank Phase 2 offshore wind farm.

The aim of consultation is to collect feedback on the offshore infrastructure and onshore grid infrastructure elements of the project. Having stated on 14th October, the consolation runs until 11th November.

As part of the process, the team will be working with local communities and stakeholders to gather feedback and local information that will inform the project. SSE Renewables stated that local knowledge will be used to refine its plans accordingly.

SSE's Arklow Bank lease area is situated 13 km off the Co. Wicklow coastline, to the east of Arklow, and covers an area approximately 27 km long and 2.5k m wide. Phase One consists of seven turbines, with an overall capacity of 25.2 MW. It started operations in 2004. SSE anticipates that Arklow Bank Phase 2 will commence operations in 2025 and power around half a million homes each year with green energy.

SSE Renewables plans to launch a separate consultation on the Operations and Maintenance Facility in 2021.
