Working with local stakeholders and communities

Working with local stakeholders and communities

Dialogue and consultation are key to all the projects developed by RWE.

In order to ensure the success of, and support for our projects, RWE works closely with local stakeholders (e.g. residents, local elected officials, community groups, local authorities) and marine users including fishermen, sailors, environmental groups and the marine industry.

Offshore innovations and technologies

RWE is a specialist in fixed-bottom offshore projects but is also pioneering the development of new floating technology. RWE is currently involved in the development of two floating demonstrator projects in Spain and Norway, each utilising different technologies.

RWE is an innovative offshore wind developer and is currently testing the world’s first recyclable blades at its Kaskasi wind farm off the coasts of Germany.

The company is also a key player in hydrogen development and is involved in numerous green hydrogen related projects across the globe, which could be linked to future offshore wind farms.

RWE's offshore portfolio in Ireland

In Ireland, RWE is currently developing the Dublin Array Offshore Wind Farm (subject to planning), and aims to be one of the lead developers of offshore wind in the country. The 824MW Dublin Array project off the coast of Counties Dublin and Wicklow was one of only four successful bidders in Ireland’s first Offshore Renewables Electricity Support Scheme (ORESS) auction in June 2024. This project will be a major step towards Ireland achieving its 2030 offshore wind target of 5GW connected to the national grid.
