Codling Wind Park is a 1,300 MW offshore wind farm proposed to be developed in the Irish Sea, in an area called the Codling Bank, approximately 13-22 kilometres off the County Wicklow coast, between Greystones and Wicklow Town. The project is a 50/50 joint venture between Fred. Olsen Seawind and EDF Renewables. With the potential to provide power to over 1 million Irish homes every year, Codling Wind Park is the largest Phase One offshore renewable energy project in Ireland.
TOBIN have supported Codling Wind Park in the assessment of the onshore transmission infrastructure, which is located on the Poolbeg Peninsula. We were commissioned to prepare and deliver the Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIAR) and Natura Impact Statement (NIS) associated with the onshore aspects of the Project and also supported in the development of the planning application documentation.
This work has concluded in a significant planning milestone, with recent submission of an application for planning permission to An Bord Pleanála, by Codling Wind Park for the construction, operation and decommissioning of the Project.
The consultation phase is now open and the Project is awaiting feedback from An Bord Pleanála.
