The scoping report has been published for the onshore infrastructure for Fred Olsen Renewables and EDF Renewables 1500MW Codling offshore wind farm, which will be located off the east coast of Ireland.
The developers said the report, which covers the export cable landfall, onshore cabling and substation, has also been sent to a list of consultees.
They added that the report sets out the proposed scope of work and methodologies to be applied in the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and outlines the proposed structure of the EIA.
“The purpose of the onshore infrastructure scoping report is to engage with consenting authorities, statutory and non-statutory consultees as part of the EIA process, inviting them to provide relevant information and to comment on the proposed approach to the Codling wind park EIA, in order to ensure that a robust EIAR is submitted in support of the project’s planning application,” the developers said.
Nekkar has been awarded a NOK 21m (€2.1m) grant from Innovation Norway to progress with the development of a technology that could significantly reduce the cost and environmental footprint associated with wind turbine installations.
The solution - called SkyWalker - uses active heave compensation derived from offshore lifting systems combined with digital solutions that allow for remote-controlled and automated solutions.
Nekkar chief executive Preben Liltved said: Our calculations show that SkyWalker can significantly reduce time, cost, and the environmental footprint associated with the installation of wind turbines.
The firm is working together with an undisclosed major wind turbine original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and Fred Olsen Renewables, in combination with support from academia, to develop the SkyWalker.

Nekkar has secured a NOK 21 million grant from Innovation Norway to progress with the development of SkyWalker, its disruptive wind turbine installation solution.
SkyWalker uses active heave compensation derived from offshore lifting systems combined with digital solutions that allow for remote-controlled and automated solutions.
The solution is being developed as a zero-emissions system. It is said to reduce the environmental impact of installing turbines by considerably reducing the footprint in nature and CO2 emissions from transportation.
According to Nekkar, another aim of SkyWalker is to enable the installation of wind turbines at locations where it currently is not practically or financially viable.
