Ireland has not got enough ports able to build the infrastructure needed to deliver its offshore renewable energy targets, according to a new report.
Wind Energy Ireland commissioned Gavin & Doherty Geosolutions to analyse the country’s ability to construct the turbines its needs around its own shores.
It found that in order to meet renewables and climate targets, the country needs about 20GW of power from offshore wind by 2050 - that’s around 1,000 turbines.
