Joint Oireachtas Committee on Fisheries and Maritime Affairs

Planning Challenges in Offshore Renewable Energy: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Laura Brien:

There is a specified duration for the holder of the MAC but within that MAC there are obligations around rehabilitation and decommissioning the projects. These are included as part of the planning conditions. MARA is responsible for making sure those planning conditions and the decommissioning are carried out. The MAC also requires the holder of the MAC to have a bond in place to cover the costs of the decommissioning work.
