Main Points:
- Offshore floating windfarms - The objective is to create a marshalling port on the Shannon Estuary together with a value-added supply chain to facilitate the development of an Atlantic Offshore Renewable Energy hub.
- Upskilling the workforce and attracting new talent to the region will be critical in underpinning this transformational change. The establishment of a regional / cross-regional energy cluster for industry/agency/academia collaboration to research, grow and market the offshore wind sector will be required. Such a measure, which needs to be implemented locally should be identified as an objective in the LECP.
- Substantial supporting infrastructure such as housing and water capacity, to name some, will be required in the region. The LECP should include an objective to plan for supporting infrastructure.
