Mr. John Fitzgerald:

It depends on the wind regime. In the case of onshore wind, if one can do it at scale it is hard to beat in terms of pricing for wind. The big issue is that it is not possible to scale onshore and there is no space in Europe to do it. Even if it could work for Ireland, Europe is power hungry and it has a shortage of land space. It needs marine-based renewable resources so floating offshore is a game changer, which will come on stream in the coming years. It has been proven technology-wise and it will be commercialised in the first instance in the North Sea by 2025. It could come here in the late 2020s or the early 2030s. We need to prepare for it and work out what we want to do with this opportunity.
