CORK, Ireland — Irish utility ESB and Ørsted have agreed to jointly develop an Irish offshore wind portfolio.

According to Ørsted, the partnership could potentially deliver up to 5 GW of renewable energy and associated renewable hydrogen projects.

The first planned offshore wind project will likely compete in the next Irish offshore wind auction, ORESS 2.1. 

Ireland’s government is targeting 7 GW of installed offshore wind capacity by 2030.
