About East Celtic
East Celtic is an offshore wind project situated off the Wexford/Waterford coast between 9 -36km from shore at the nearest and furthest points. The indicative site location has been chosen following a site selection process that considered the regional resources, physical and environmental constraints and the potential renewable generation capacity of the area. These high level assessments have informed the position, size and shape of the proposed area being considered.
The project has applied for a Foreshore Licence from the government which, if granted, will allow for numerous surveys to be undertaken in the Foreshore area. All surveys conducted withing the proposed area will assess the physical environment and inform the final project design.
The results of many of these surveys will be compiled and documented in an Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIAR) to support an application for planning consent. The East Celtic project is aiming to assist the Irish Government to deliver on their current policy of 7GW (7,000MW) of offshore wind capacity connected by 2030.

Benefits of strong winds for the south east region
East Celtic will also drive important economic benefits in the South East region of Ireland throughout its construction and economic life as an employer and by reducing future Irish energy costs and improving future Irish energy security of supply.
