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.

Renewable energy

Ireland has a national objective to produce 80% of its electricity using renewable sources by 2030. To achieve this, the Irish government is fast tracking the development of its offshore wind sector. In 2020, the Sceirde Rocks Windfarm project was announced as one of the seven relevant projects for offshore development to reach this goal.
