In December 2022 the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications granted Codling Wind Park a Maritime Area Consent (MAC), giving the project the legal right to occupy a specified part of the maritime area on Codling Bank for the offshore wind farm and associated offshore transmission infrastructure, including three offshore substations and their export cables towards Poolbeg. This MAC formed part of Ireland’s Phase One consenting process and was required before Codling could lodge its planning application covering both the offshore and onshore elements of the Codling–Poolbeg export connection.
