Codling Wind Park, a Phase 1 offshore renewable energy project in Ireland, will submit its planning application to An Bord Pleanála early next week. A planning notice for the project is being published in local papers in Wicklow and Dublin, and will be included in a national newspaper on Friday, 30 August.
The project is a 50/50 joint venture between Fred. Olsen Seawind and EDF Renewables. Codling Wind Park will have a capacity of up to 1,300 MW and will be located between 13 to 22 kilometres off the Wicklow coast, connecting to the Irish grid at Poolbeg in Dublin. Subject to planning permission and all other necessary permits, construction could begin in 2026-27, with completion expected within two to three years and power generation starting by 2030.
