SSE Renewables has announced the conclusion of successful geophysical surveys off the South and East coasts of Ireland. The geophysical surveys have been completed by Cork-based offshore site investigation company Green Rebel.
The surveys, which took place over the course of three months from late spring and into this summer, were conducted by Green Rebel’s purpose-built survey vessels, the Roman Rebel and the Lady Kathleen. The geophysical surveys will help provide a clearer understanding of seabed conditions in an area of the Celtic Sea which sits within the recently published Draft Designated Marine Area Plan (DMAP) zone off the coasts of Waterford and Wexford, as well as in the Irish Sea off the East coast where a DMAP is expected to be announced in the coming months.
