In 2002, the Irish Minister for Marine and Natural Resources granted a Foreshore Lease for the Arklow Bank Wind Park offshore infrastructure, authorising the development of wind turbines, offshore substations and all associated offshore export cables within the 27 km by 2.5 km lease area on Arklow Bank in the Irish Sea. This lease underpins the Phase 2 development, including the offshore export cable system and offshore substations that will transmit power from Arklow Bank Wind Park Phase 2 to shore.
