National Designated Maritime Area Plan (DMAP) for Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE)
The Marine Institute and the Atlantic Technological University (ATU) participated in this consultation providing a valuable opportunity to engage with key stakeholders involved in marine renewable energy planning and deployment. The event facilitated dialogue on offshore renewable energy development, stakeholder perspectives and future opportunities, while increasing awareness of AWESDI among actors operating at the intersection of policy, planning and marine energy.
The consultation aligns closely with AWESDI’s objectives related to sustainable wave energy deployment, stakeholder engagement and policy alignment. Insights gathered contribute to a better understanding of governance, planning and deployment conditions in Atlantic coastal regions.
The objective was to gather stakeholder inputs and to contribute to discussions on the designation of maritime areas capable of supporting at least 15 GW of Offshore Renewable Energy in Ireland by 2040.
