Strategic Environmental Assessment of National ORE DMAP

Department of Climate Energy and the Environment

In order to further accelerate the process of site designation for Offshore Renewable Energy, the Government (through a memo for information in April 2025) signalled its intention that a single National ORE DMAP was the optimal choice for efficient delivery of Ireland’s offshore wind energy needs. The goal of this DMAP will be to designate sites around Ireland's entire maritime area capable of delivering at least 15GW of energy by 2040, which along with the South Coast DMAP and the Phase One projects, will enable Ireland to meet its 20GW target. Having a single National DMAP supports the Programme for Government commitment and will provide greater certainty for marine stakeholders and the renewables industry. Services are now sought to provide Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) to the National ORE DMAP project.
