Offshore wind turbines used by Simply Blue Energy off the Cork coast
Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Coveney has welcomed Irish offshore energy Simply Blue’s deal with multinational Shell to develop its floating wind farm in the Celtic Sea.
Simply Blue Energy and Shell confirmed today that the multinational is acquiring a 51 per cent share in the Emerald project off Kinsale, Co Cork.
It represents Shell’s first return to the Irish energy market since it sold off its controversial Corrib Gas project in North Mayo.
Simply Blue Energy says the joint venture will use floating wind technology to develop 300MW of installed capacity initially.

Longford Leader Farming: Brexit Fund must go directly to farmers
Reporter:
);
IFA President Tim Cullinan said the announcement that Ireland will receive over €1bn, or 25%, from the EU Brexit fund in 2021 is clear recognition that we are most exposed to the fallout from Brexit.
The Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Coveney confirmed the funding at the AGM of the North Tipperary County Executive last night.
Tim Cullinan said when it comes to allocating the funding, the impact on the agri-food sector will have to be central to any decisions.
“We will be making a strong case for funding to go directly to farmers who will take the brunt of any fallout from currency fluctuations and trade and logistical issues that will arise once the deal reached before Christmas works its way through the system,” he said.
