Meeting Ireland’s Targets under the 2020 Climate and Energy Package: Discussion
11:30 am
Mr. Garrett Connell:
I want to reiterate the speed with which offshore wind projects can be delivered. There may be a perception out there that offshore wind is something that could be delivered in the late 2020s but offshore wind has the advantage of scale and location. Large-scale projects can be connected to existing grid infrastructure very quickly and these projects are well progressed through the planning process so they can be delivered in time to help meet our 2020 targets.
