Ireland has set itself a target of 70% of its energy mix coming from renewable energy sources. Currently wind, wave and solar energy accounts for a modest 37%.The next stages in offshore wind energy are in the Irish planning swamp where there is a shortage of skilled experts to adjudicate but plenty of NIMBYs prepared to hold it up. Speaking to Joe this morning was TJ Hunter, Senior Director for Development and Operations at Ørsted UK & Ireland which is one of the biggest developer of offshore wind farms in the world.
