Walking away from the Western Star and Emerald offshore wind projects is “a portfolio decision for Shell”, according to a joint statement from the energy major and Simply Blue Group.
The offshore wind developer said it remains committed to completing the Cork and Clare offshore sites, which will deliver a combined 2.65 gigawatts of floating offshore wind power for Ireland, and is moving towards a “new strategic partnership” .
Shell agreed to buy a 51% stake in Simply Blue Group’s Western Star floating wind farm almost a year ago, after previously buying the Emerald development.
