Offshore Renewable Energy Development Plan II (OREDP II)

With a sea area seven times the size of our land area, Ireland has immense potential for wind, wave and tidal energy that can aid in delivery of our long-term climate goals. The Offshore Renewable Energy Development Plan II (OREDP II) is a significant step towards harnessing this potential for the benefit of all.

Tidal Energy

When the high tide makes its way to the shoreline, water is trapped in reservoirs or river estuaries and stored behind dams or barrages. Harnessing this vast amount of renewable energy means that Ireland has the potential to be one of the market leaders in the wave energy sector due to the advantage of its geographical location.

Energy Outlook 2024

Colm O''Neill and our Sustainable Futures team explain what could be done to hit Ireland''s energy targets. Ireland has set very ambitious targets and while we have made some progress, now is the time to take action in the Energy Sector. 2024 needs to be a year for delivery and a year for getting back on track in terms of achieving our targets.

Shoreline management plan | Entergy | We power life.

Upon receiving its new operating license from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), Entergy was required to prepare a Shoreline Management Plan (SMP) for the Project. An SMP is a comprehensive plan to manage the multiple resources and uses of the Project''s shorelines in a manner that is consistent with license requirements and

Four south coast offshore areas proposed – Energy

The draft South Coast Designated Maritime Area Plan (DMAP) has identified four proposed areas off the south coast for offshore wind projects. The four maritime areas proposed for offshore renewable energy projects

Shoreline management planning in Northern Ireland

Shoreline management planning in Northern Ireland Professor Andrew Cooper Ulster University Summary The coastal ecosystem delivers food resources, absorbs storm energy, filters water and provides a wealth of resources that humans enjoy. The long history of human activity at the coast is itself a valuable cultural resource.

Ireland needs to take a gamble now on wave energy

"The resource is located close to shoreline, with the possibility of exporting power to Europe. " a small wave energy conversion company. Ireland should look to Scotland, wave developers

Ocean energy technologies

The Offshore Renewable Energy Technology roadmap has assessed the potential for wave energy to play a role in Irelands decarbonised electricity system. The roadmap recognises that wave energy could play a role in meeting Ireland''s 37GW ambition if sufficient progression in technology readiness and price reduction is achieved.

Four south coast offshore areas proposed – Energy Ireland

In her previous role as Codema''s Senior Energy Planner, Donna worked on monitoring and reporting the progress of the Sustainable Energy Action Plan for Dublin City in line with the Covenant of Mayors Initiative and developed the first Spatial Energy Demand Analyses (SEDA) in Ireland for all four Dublin local authorities in order to integrate

Energy In Ireland | Key Publications | SEAI

Ireland''s national energy-related emissions in 2023 were at their lowest level in over 30 years. Energy-related emissions in 2023 were 31.4 MtCO 2 eq, down 8.3% on 2022 levels, and lower even than those observed during the height of COVID impacts in 2020. Energy-related emissions fell by over 2.8 MtCO 2 eq in 2023 - the largest annual reduction observed in 12 years.

6 FAQs about [Ireland shoreline energy]

Does Ireland have a tidal energy system?

Ireland possesses one of the richest wave and tidal energy climates in the world. The Wave energy resources potentially available to Ireland could meet 75% of the Republic's electricity requirement. Wave Energy refers to the energy contained in the ocean surface waves and the capture of that energy to generate electricity.

How many MW of wave energy can be extracted in Ireland?

The Offshore Renewable Energy Development Plan published in 2014 identified a total theoretical development potential of 31,100MW of wave energy in Ireland that could be extracted without having likely significant adverse effects on the environment.

Could Belfast be a solution to Ireland's offshore wind farms?

The Offshore Renewable Energy Technology Roadmap suggests that Belfast could be an immediate solution for delivering Ireland's offshore wind farms, but it does not provide a short-term plan or express the necessity to develop port infrastructure within the Republic of Ireland.

What is the potential use of wave energy in Ireland?

In terms of potential usefulness, the wave climate off the West coast of Ireland is one of the most favourable in the world. The development potential in respect to second generation floating devices, moored offshore, is very significant with the practicable wave energy resource estimated at more than 6000MW.

How can Ireland become a technology leader in the field of tidal energy?

To become a technology leader in the field of ocean energy by committing to a significant development programme for ocean wave and tidal energy. To provide Ireland with the means to utilise the Irish wave resource and develop an exportable core of research excellence. To maintain a watching brief in the field of wave and tidal energy.

What role will offshore wind play in Ireland's decarbonised electricity system?

Offshore wind will play a significant role in Irelands decarbonised electricity system with a government stated ambition to deliver 5 GW of offshore wind by 2030, and 20 GW by 2040, and 37 GW by 2050. Offshore wind uses two broad technology types, Fixed-bottom and Floating offshore wind.
