Name:

Bore Array Ltd, a subsidiary project company of Statkraft

Address:

Building 4200, Cork Airport Business Park, Co. Cork, Ireland T12 D23C

Description:

Bore Array Ltd, a subsidiary project company of Statkraft, is investigating the feasibility of developing the Bore Array Offshore Wind Farm (OWF), off the coast of Co. Wexford. The intention is that the final development would be linked by an export cable (or cables) to shore.

This Foreshore Licence Application is for site investigation works to determine the suitability for cable routeing, and positioning of turbines and other electrical infrastructure associated with the development of an OWF. The results of these surveys will also provide baseline data for Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and a subsequent Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIAR) should the development be taken forward to the planning/consenting stage.

It should be noted the Foreshore Acts 1933 to 2014 allows for the granting of Investigatory Foreshore Licences inside the 12NM limit and, as such, this application relates only to the area within that jurisdiction.

Location:

Off County Wexford
