The scoping report has been published for the onshore infrastructure for Fred Olsen Renewables and EDF Renewables’ 1500MW Codling offshore wind farm, which will be located off the east coast of Ireland.
The developers said the report, which covers the export cable landfall, onshore cabling and substation, has also been sent to a list of consultees.
They added that the report sets out the proposed scope of work and methodologies to be applied in the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and outlines the proposed structure of the EIA.
“The purpose of the onshore infrastructure scoping report is to engage with consenting authorities, statutory and non-statutory consultees as part of the EIA process, inviting them to provide relevant information and to comment on the proposed approach to the Codling wind park EIA, in order to ensure that a robust EIAR is submitted in support of the project’s planning application,” the developers said.
