Sceirde Rocks Offshore Wind Farm is a fixed bottom offshore wind farm off the West Coast of Ireland and under the Transitional Protocol is recognised as a Relevant or Phase One project. As such, Sceirde Rocks Offshore Wind Farm is a high priority project and it is anticipated that this project will be prioritised through the Foreshore License process, the MAC award process and subsequently will be one of the first projects eligible for the first ORESS-1 auction. Sceirde Rocks Offshore Wind Farm will be targeting an accelerated delivery programme for this offshore project to meet government renewable energy targets pre-2030. This application specifically relates to a foreshore license for site investigation activities in the wind farm array area only.
