Generating the future of Offshore Wind Energy

ADVANCING THE GREEN TRANSITION

Celtic Horizon is a proposed offshore wind development located in the Celtic Sea, off the coast of counties Waterford and Wexford. It is envisaged that the project could generate up to 700 Megawatts (MW) of clean renewable electricity, enough to power up to 657,000 Irish homes per annum. This will facilitate job creation and vastly reduce our reliance on imported oil and gas, while also helping Ireland become carbon neutral by 2050.

The Project

Ocean Winds and Bord na Móna are proposing the development of an offshore wind farm located in the Celtic Sea, off the coast of counties Waterford and Wexford. The proposed wind farm array study area is located 9km from the Saltee Islands and 13.5km from mainland Wexford.
