COWI has been selected as designer for the 450MW Sceirde Rocks offshore wind project off the coast of Ireland.
COWI will provide the project developer, Corio Generation, with a pre-front end engineering design (FEED) design for the Sceirde Rocks development.
The engineering group will also support Corio Generation in the early design of the foundations in preparation for an auction application for the offshore competition under the Renewable Electricity Support Scheme (ORESS-1) in Ireland.
The Sceirde Rocks project will sit in the North Atlantic Ocean to the west of Galway, Ireland.
The project is in permitting stage and will be developed in a single phase.
Damian McGirr, Senior Market Director, said: “COWI will supply the Pre-FEED design, which will enable Corio to approach potential suppliers for quotes for the project’s implementation.
“We work on landmark wind developments across the globe, and we’re delighted to be able to bring our international expertise to ensure the best outcomes for Sceirde Rocks windfarm.
“At COWI we are expanding our portfolio in this space, as it is paramount that we utilise our offshore wind resource to create sustainable solutions to supply renewable energy as we strive to reach the Net Zero target.”
