Developers of Ireland’s flagship offshore wind farm, the 1.5GW Codling, are moving up the gears, following engagement of consultancy DNV for certification of the mega-project.
The €3bn ($3.5bn) development, being built by a consortium of EDF and Fred Olsen Renewables, is expected to supply up to 70% of all Irish households with clean power once online in 2027-28, while making a “significant contribution” to the country meeting its ambitions to double the percentage of renewables in its energy nix from 35% in 2020 to 70% in 2030.
