Ireland is committed to having 5GW of installed offshore wind capacity by 2030 and 37GW by 2050. Wind energy is the most important renewable energy source for decarbonising our economy and powering critical infrastructure such as data centres – yet Ireland currently produces just 25MW of it. Host Craig McKechnie is joined by Úna Brosnan, Head of Offshore Ireland with Mainstream Renewable Power; and Leo Quinn, Senior Offshore Development Manager with Mainstream Renewable Power, to discuss Ireland's offshore wind potential and the challenges energy companies face when bringing it onshore and online.
