The first offshore wind-specific auction in Ireland, Offshore Renewable Energy Support Scheme (ORESS) 1, was a competitive auction process held in May 2023. NISA was one of the four successful projects at this auction, confirming a route to market should the project receive planning permission. This competitive ORESS-1 price will see us locked into low-price renewable energy for the next 20 years.
