Oriel offshore wind farm has submitted a planning application to An Bord Pleanála (ABP) for its proposed offshore wind farm in the North Irish Sea.
The Oriel Windfarm project will be situated off the north County Louth coast and will consist of 25 wind turbines, with a combined generating capacity of up to 375 MW. The planning application also includes the construction of offshore and onshore electricity substations, as well as all necessary submarine and underground cables required for the operation of the proposed green energy project. Oriel is being developed by JERA Nex through its wholly owned subsidiary Parkwind, and ESB. The planning process is expected to take up to 12 months. If planning permission is granted, construction of the Oriel Windfarm could commence in 2026, with the wind farm potentially becoming operational in 2028.
