North Channel Wind is a prospective offshore wind development in the North Channel of the Irish Sea. Using innovative floating wind technology, the development would harness the power of the wind to generate clean, renewable electricity for Northern Ireland at scale.
North Channel Wind is a wholly owned subsidiary of SBM Offshore, a global leader in floating offshore wind, with front-end development work being led by NMK Renewables Ltd.
At SBM Offshore, we design, build, install and operate floating facilities for the offshore energy industry. As a leading technology provider, we put our marine expertise at the service of a responsible energy transition. We are committed to sharing our experience to deliver safe, sustainable and affordable energy from the oceans for generations to come.
To date we have delivered France’s first floating windfarm at Provence Grand Large and are currently delivering a global portfolio of projects in Wales, Canada, USA and Northern Ireland.
NMK Renewables is a specialist floating wind developer, focused on sustainable, nature-friendly projects in the UK and Ireland.
North Channel Wind would represent one of the largest energy infrastructure investments in Northern Ireland this decade, supporting the delivery of renewable energy targets, improved security of supply and the transition to a net-zero economy.
