French giant EDF Renewables and Norway’s Fred Olsen Seawind plan a €2 billion wind farm off the Wicklow coast, one of several projects in the pipeline for the Irish Sea. The joint venture has earmarked €500,000 to support the fishing industry operating in and around the Codling Bank area of the Irish Sea, which it will pay over five years. Codling Wind Park is in talks with industry representatives and has asked them for proposals on how the cash should be used. The wind farm developers say the cash can be used to support inshore and offshore fishing in the area.
