Transformative energy
The Sceirde Rocks Windfarm is a proposed offshore wind project, located off the Connemara coast in County Galway, that aims to power communities using clean and renewable energy.
Once completed, the Sceirde Rocks Windfarm will provide enough reliable and affordable electricity to power more than 350,000 homes. The project will help Ireland to achieve its goal of generating 80% of energy through renewable sources by 2030.

Developing the local area
The Sceirde Rocks project is one of the largest ever infrastructure projects in the Connemara region. Once built, it will be the first commercial-scale offshore windfarm on Europe’s Atlantic margin, set on Connemara’s Gaeltacht coast.
The Sceirde Rocks Windfarm will contribute significantly to the future development of the area by:
- Providing job opportunities and economic development for local communities in Connemara.
- Enabling opportunities for communities, businesses and individuals to develop and progress.
- Strengthening and supporting cultural economic and community infrastructure in the Gaeltacht area.
