Magnora holds a strategic position within the renewable energy sector as an owner in offshore wind, onshore wind, and solar development projects and is a key enabler in solar energy technologies.
When combined with TechnipFMC s unique technologies, experience delivering integrated EPCI (iEPCI) projects and its novel Deep Purple initiative to integrate wind and wave energy with offshore green hydrogen storage, this partnership will enable Magnora Offshore Wind to realize significant opportunities in the growing offshore floating wind market.
Farmers, as landowners, consumers and citizens will be affected more than others by the transformation already under way in Ireland’s electricity system.

Wind turbines and electricity pylons are unpopular and are opposed locally in many parts of rural Ireland.
