SSE Renewables is actively working to progress the delivery of offshore renewable energy to help secure Ireland’s energy future, reduce carbon emissions and create local jobs. Ireland is a nascent market for offshore wind with huge potential and critical infrastructure projects such as Arklow Bank Wind Park 2 will significantly contribute to the Irish Government’s target of achieving 5GW of offshore wind by 2030.
Our Chamber welcomes the new jobs that will be created across the county and looks forward to a successful partnership over the coming year.

Since joining the chamber, he has seen how the organization and business as a whole have been negatively impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic over the last number of years which proved to be unpredictable, challenging and often frustrating for all businesses not just in Ireland but indeed globally – and most certainly – locally. “None of us expected what would enfold nor were we prepared for the changes that we have had to make to both our business and personal lives. I would like to say well done to the chamber and all of you here for steering your business through this challenge”.
