Simply Blue and EDF Renewables team up for offshore wind projects

EDF Renewables Ireland has entered into a partnership to develop the Western Star and Emerald floating wind projects with Simply Blue Group. The partnership is subject to a merger clearance expected in the coming months.

Val Cummins, Project Managing Director for Emerald and Western Star, added “the partnership is ideally placed to deliver for Phase 3 of offshore wind in Ireland.
