The Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications (DECC) invites interested parties to submit responses to this request for tender for the provision of MetOcean Surveys relating to Tonn Nua and Lí Ban, and Geotechnical desktop study relating to Tonn Nua and Lí Ban. For the avoidance of doubt, this would include survey data and a geotechnical desktop study within the Tonn Nua site in the South Coast ORE DMAP. The Tonn Nua site (A) and Lí Ban site (B) are situated off the coast of County Waterford and encompasses a total marine area of 312.6 km2 and 486 km2 respectively. As part of a new plan-led regime, the offshore wind Phase Two policy approved by Government in March 2023 requires that all future offshore renewable energy developments in Ireland will take place within Designated Maritime Area Plans (DMAPs), which will be established according to provisions in the Maritime Area Planning Act, 2021. Specifically, all future developments will take place at specific sites within DMAPs that have been identified for this purpose by Government. Government and the Oireachtas has agreed that the first DMAP for Offshore Renewable Energy will be located off the South Coast, and that the first offshore wind project with a capacity of approximately 900MW will take place in Tonn Nua, an will aim for deployment by 2030. The updated draft South Coast DMAP identifying four maritime areas off the south coast was published on the 3 May 2024, it was then subject to a six-week statutory public consultation period closing on 14 June 2024. The Draft South Coast DMAP has undergone a further period of additional public consultation from 1 August - 30 August 2024. The boundaries of the south coast DMAP maritime areas may be subject to change as a result of the public consultation. Commencing with the South Coast DMAP Proposal, the State will undertake comprehensive surveying activities primarily through our partners in the Marine Institute (MI) and Geological Survey Ireland (GSI)....
