Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Darren Sherry CEO of Galetech

We're not necessarily developing a pipeline.

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Darren Sherry CEO of Galetech

We're developing a group of projects.

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Darren Sherry CEO of Galetech

So in the Irish market, we have about 1,000 megawatts of pipeline of projects coming through.

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Darren Sherry CEO of Galetech

We have 600 megawatts in South Africa with planning waiting on grid connection.

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Darren Sherry CEO of Galetech

And in Kenya, we have another 600 megawatts, which is at early stage development.

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Darren Sherry CEO of Galetech

And obviously, the UK has become a large focus for us.

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Darren Sherry CEO of Galetech

GB, and we're starting to develop a pipeline of projects there also.

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Darren Sherry CEO of Galetech

There are still lots of opportunities for onshore wind, for solar, for BEZ, for other things, so the technology will come along.

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Darren Sherry CEO of Galetech

I'm confident of that.

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Darren Sherry CEO of Galetech

You know, the development cycle on wind and renewable projects is very long.

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Darren Sherry CEO of Galetech

Like, we typically take a 10-year process to develop a project, so...

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Darren Sherry CEO of Galetech

Everything we do now is focused on what's going to happen in 2035, what's going to happen in 2036.

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Darren Sherry CEO of Galetech

And equally, we constantly need to keep looking to the future to see what's going to be happening that 10 years out.

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Darren Sherry CEO of Galetech

So I think offshore will be a feature in the Irish market, a significant feature in the Irish market in 2035.

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Darren Sherry CEO of Galetech

Yeah, there are certainly some improvements.

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Darren Sherry CEO of Galetech

Again, I would come back to the fact that the development cycle on a project is probably 10 years.

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Darren Sherry CEO of Galetech

So, you know, four years of that is feasibility studies and environmental studies, etc.

Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam
Darren Sherry CEO of Galetech

So the change in the policy, we welcome it.
