In Ireland, Phase 2 development of offshore renewable energy is to take place off the South-East Coast. Unlike Phase 1, Phase 2 is plan-led: the transmission system operator, EirGrid, will develop grid assets to connect projects on State selected sites. In October 2024, some key building blocks for Phase 2 have been put in place. They include Government approval of the South-Coast Designated Maritime Area Plan and a Decision on Grid Connection Policy.
The Government is consulting until 14 June 2024 on the draft South Coast Designated Maritime Area Plan (the "draft SC-DMAP") for offshore renewable energy ("ORE"). This represents a first forward spatial plan for renewable energy in Ireland. It identifies four maritime areas within which it is proposed that future ORE development in this DMAP will take place.
