It will have a capacity up to 800MW and consist of up to approximately 62 turbines. SSE Renewables is progressing plans to participate in Ireland’s first Offshore auction in late 2022/early 2023, with eyes on a 2025 completion date for the project.

The cable infrastructure tender's scope includes responsibility for the design, supply, manufacture, storage, loadout, transportation, installation, burial, protection, testing and commissioning of the array cable 66kV system in accordance with the Employer Requirements and Programme.

Contractors will be assessed and evaluated based on their responses and the mandatory and/or minimum requirements within the respective sections within the PQQ. Following this stage, up to five evaluated contractors will be invited for the ITT.
