12 Months, fixed-term, whole-time post
Position summary
This Marine Institute funded project will focus on presenting a Project Design Envelope (PDE) approach to Fixed offshore wind technology off the Irish Coast. Under the Maritime Area Planning (MAP) Act 2021 new consenting processes are being established for offshore renewable energy (ORE). The first commercial scale ORE projects will be fixed foundation offshore wind projects. It is recognised that the technology used in such projects continues to evolve at pace, enabling more electricity to be produced in a given footprint. Such advances may result in changes to individual turbines of which a number would make up a particular project.
To inform the Government’s view on how such variation might be accommodated in ORE decision making and how much change is reasonable, an improved understanding is needed as to the degree to which changes in technology alter the impact of wind farms as identified in assessments such as EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment) and AA (Appropriate Assessments) processes. This study will seek to review examples of global ORE activity to date and provide insights that informs the ORE consenting process.
Post Duration: 12 months
Salary: €48,813 - €53,092 p.a. (IUA PD2 Salary Scale)
Project Title: Offshore Wind Design Flexibility
