Greystones Offshore Windfarm
Cobra and Flotation Energy are proud to be partners on the Greystones Offshore Windfarm with a planned nominal capacity of 1,200 MW. The project is located approximately 17.5km from the Dublin and Wicklow coastline.
We support a Government plan led approach to offshore wind development in Ireland. We are committed to engaging with the Government throughout the consultation process to support sustainable design and deliver for Ireland’s renewable energy future.
It will also contribute to The Irish Government’s commitment to:
- Generate 7 GW of power from offshore wind by 2030
- Supply 80% of energy needs from renewable sources by 2030
- Reach net zero by 2050.

Throughout early development we have consistently engaged in the Irish Government consultation process to ensure policies for offshore wind enable high quality sustainable development for the country.
Environment
Delivering net zero
Climate change is the biggest challenge facing our planet. A future of green renewable energy is our goal.
Offshore wind is set to produce 25% of the worlds total power generation by 2050. We are determined to support the big switch to sustainable, clean an affordable energy through the development of offshore wind technology.
Sustainable development
The Greystones site is an ideal location for an offshore windfarm. Through the site selection process, we have considered other marine users and activities, minimising interactions.
Balancing development with care for the environment is at the forefront of our minds when identifying suitable sites. We have undertaken preliminary identification and assessment of the environment to ensure development is compatible with this location.
Supply chain
We are committed to establishing and developing local Irish partnerships from early concept phases, that extend through engineering, construction and installation, through to O&M. If you are interested in working with us please get in touch, through the contact form below.
