Public consultation on planning permission for the Dublin Array offshore wind farm has been extended, due to a technical error on An Coimisiún Pleanála’s website.
Kish Offshore Wind Limited and Bray Offshore Wind Limited, the joint venture companies owned by RWE Renewables Ireland and Saorgus Energy, confirmed that an additional two month period is being made available for inspection of the planning application and making of submissions and observations on the Dublin Array.
They explained that certain documentation relating to the application, made on February 28th 2025, was omitted from An Coimisiún Pleanála’s website www.pleanala.ie
“For clarity, the full application was made available at the three specified physical inspection locations and online at www.dublinarray-marineplanning.ie during the initial submission period,”they state.
The time extension is being made “to ensure full and effective public participation in the decision-making process”, they state.
The application (reference ABP-321992-25) is seeking planning permission for the construction, operation and decommissioning of the Dublin Array project, an offshore wind farm at the Kish and Bray Banks in the Irish Sea off the coasts of Counties Dublin and Wicklow.
This additional period will now open on Wednesday, July 30th, 2025, with all submissions or observations to be received by An Coimisiún Pleanála not later than 5.30p.m. on Wednesday, September 24th, 2025, they state.
