Fantastic to see this launched! A big step forward in setting out Ireland’s long-term offshore wind energy future and bound to be a big topic of conversation at our Offshore Wind Conference in Dublin tomorrow. Huge credit to everyone involved in getting it over the line.

Delighted to attend the partnership launch of Bord na Móna and Amazon Web Services today for their Eco Energy Park concept. The idea of decarbonisd business parks where new businesses can thrive & be zero-carbon simultaneously is fantastic & should be a real focus of Ireland's industrial policy.

ESB Networks announced this week there is now more than 1GW of electricity #storage in the Republic of Ireland: 731.5MW of grid-scale #batteries and 291MW of pumped hydro. We made a map of showing all large-scale batteries' capacity and duration across the island: 931.5MW/987MWh.

We are excited to launch an exciting new interactive tool to help individuals and communities understand how we build and operate offshore wind farms.

There 👏 is 👏 no 👏 time 👏 to 👏 wait.

Waiting is not an option. We must do everything we can right now to get more clean energy onto our electricity system in a way that is sensitive and sensible.

Ireland Electrified represents electric heat, domestic and industrial, as well as electric transport and we will be advocating for change to increase electrification.

Fantastic to hear Justin Moran Wind Energy Ireland highlight how 40% of community benefit funding from new wind energy projects must be reserved for projects which support the #SDGs

This is policy coherence in action!

#EarthDayFoE

No miracles necessary. We have the projects. We need public & political motivation to get them over the line.

We need to ensure that An Bord Pleanála, the National Parks and Wildlife Service and environmental organizations have the resources to deal with planning applications for renewable energy.

We don’t want to sugar coat it, when we roll out this infrastructure there are risks but we need to explain why it is so important that we do it.

Big thanks to Justin Moran Wind Energy Ireland& 8 of our impressive UCD Environmental Policy alumni, who spoke to current MSc students today about careers in Environmental Policy. -So many diverse opportunities await our students upon graduation from University College Dublin this summer! 💚
