Singapore-based firm to build $13.7b wind farm off Ireland for green hydrogen facility

LONDON (BLOOMBERG) - A Singapore-based offshore wind developer has signed an agreement to build a huge US$10 billion (S$13.7 billion) wind farm off the coast of Ireland to power a green hydrogen facility. Green hydrogen - produced by renewable electricity - is seen as a clean alternative to natural gas for industries such as steel and chemicals, with energy majors from Equinor to BP piling in to the technology. Europe has a goal of six gigawatts (GW) of installed green hydrogen by 2024, and 40GW by 2030. Enterprize Energy's 4GW wind farm will supply electricity for hydrogen production and consumption in Ireland, or for conversion into ammonia that can exported, chief executive officer Ian Hatton said in an interview.

So Ireland, to us, is a key hub in that strategy." Enterprize is not seeking a subsidy for the wind farm. It will raise money through project financing arranged by investment banking firm Societe Generale as well as ...
