Phase 1 of the wind park was constructed in 2003 04 consisting of seven wind turbines with a capacity of 25.2 mw. phase 1 is owned and operated by ge energy under a sublease to the foreshore lease and remains the first and only operational offshore wind farm in ireland. now, we are proposing to invest up to €2.5 billion to develop arklow bank. Sse renewables is actively developing phase 2 of arklow bank wind park which will be located in a lease area situated six to 13km off the co. wicklow coastline, to the east of arklow. the arklow bank wind park phase 2 development, which builds on the existing ge owned seven turbines that comprise the operational first phase of the wind park, is.

The decision comes on the back of significant progress for the arklow bank wind park phase 2 project. sse renewables was recently granted planning permission to develop the onshore grid infrastructure necessary to connect the 800mw project to ireland’s electricity transmission grid, a historic first for ireland’s offshore wind sector. Sse renewables is developing phase 2 of arklow bank, a 520 megawatt wind park six to 13km off the co wicklow coastline and at a cost of over €2 billion. it will build on the existing seven ge. Construction works on arklow bank wind park 2 could start in 2026, subject to planning consent and a final investment decision by sse. first power could be expected by 2029. once fully operational, the station will be capable of powering around 850,000 homes annually. arklow bank wind park 2 was awarded a maritime area consent in december 2022. The arklow bank wind park phase 2 offshore wind project has reached yet another key milestone as planning permission has been granted for the development of a state of the art operations and maintenance facility (omf) in arklow harbour. approval was secured by sse renewables (today) from wicklow county council in relation to the operations base proposed for south dock. the decision will.
