Fugro, EirGrid Complete Marine Surveys for Irish Offshore Wind Link

EirGrid has completed marine and coastal surveys for Ireland's Powering Up Offshore – South Coast program, with Fugro conducting investigations to support the development of grid infrastructure for approximately 900 MW of offshore renewable energy.

The campaign involved almost 70 surveys, including geophysical, geotechnical, environmental, and metocean surveys, as well as UXO (unexploded ordnance) detection.

The data collected will be used to inform the design and construction of offshore wind farms and grid infrastructure, helping to facilitate the connection of offshore wind projects to the onshore grid.
