4C Offshore Empowering Intelligence
11 Jan 2023: The second public consultation started. It was an online public as part of the planning process. The public were able to visit the consultation room and leave feedback. Changes to the project proposal include a change to monopile foundations instead to the gravity foundations originally proposed. The onshore substation is to be built around 3km east of Ardee and the route will be approximately 20km long. The preferred would be mainly under public roads and buried under ground. The project has moved further offshore to reduce the visual impact and the number of turbines reduced from 55 to 25 by using 15 MW turbines. Belfast and Rosslare are being considered as marshalling ports, as well as Mostyn in North Wales. Drogheda, Greenore Port and Kilkeel have potential facilities and are under consideration by the Project to support O&M activities. Crew Transfer Vessels are to be used.
