40 percent increase in offshore wind energy planned for 2030

40 per cent more energy is to be produced by offshore wind farms by 2030.

The Irish Examiner says the Government is committed to the increase, but industry experts are concerned planning delays will make the target unattainable.

Wind Energy Ireland says the goal could easily be exceeded, but only if state policies change to ease planning permission difficulties.

The group is calling for a reform of An Bord Pleanala to increase industry efficiency.
