The Dublin Array proposal is to construct 39 to 50 wind turbines on/in the vicinity of the Kish and Bray sandbanks, less than 10 km offshore close to the Dalkey/ Killiney Bay coastline.  German energy company RWE and Irish company Saorgus propose turbines between 270 and 310 metres tall – taller than any wind turbine that exists today and taller than the Eiffel tower. This project will not only have a considerable environmental impact but will also affect the visual aesthetics of our unspoiled coastline. While this is a national issue, the impact of the Dublin Array would be especially significant to the local community.

The developer has not submitted an application to Bord Pleanala yet but is likely to do so before Christmas 2024.  This will be updated with the application details and how to submit observations once the application is submitted.

Codling Windpark is a proposed offshore wind farm approximately 13-22 kilometres off the County Wicklow coast, between Greystones and Wicklow Town. Codling Wind Park is a 50:50 joint venture between EDF Renewables and Fred. Olsen Seawind.  This will be Ireland’s largest offshore windfarm with 75 turbines, proposed to stand between 288 meters and 314 meters tall, higher than any existing wind turbine in the world.  This will have significant detrimental effects to the biodiversity of the area.

The application for this development was submitted by the developer in September 2024 and is currently open to observations by the public.  We need you to lodge an observation to show that the public disagrees with this inappropriately planned marine development.
