Abstract

The Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications (the Department) has prepared the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Future Framework Policy Statement.

The Future Framework Policy Statement outlines the Department's ambitions for ORE delivery for Ireland for the post-2030 period, the key processes needed for successful deployment, and a pathway to maximise economic benefits to the State. The key reasons for sustainably developing Ireland’s considerable offshore resources are threefold:

• Decarbonising the Irish economy in line with legally binding national and international climate ambitions;

• Ensuring long-term energy security; and

• Developing green industrial opportunities for energy utilisation such as export markets.

Fehily Timoney and Company (FT) were commissioned by the Department to prepare a report to inform the competent authority's Screening for Appropriate Assessment for the ORE Future Framework Policy Statement, as required by Article 6(3) of Council Directive 92/43/EEC (Habitats Directive). This report presents an examination of whether the ORE Future Framework Policy Statement is likely to have a significant effect on a European site (either alone or in combination with other plans or projects) and is based on best available scientific knowledge.
