Cork-based renewable energy firm DP Marine Energy Ltd (DPME) has unveiled plans for a massive tidal energy scheme to be constructed on the sea bed off the north coast of Northern Ireland.
The company has launched a consultation process with local communities ahead of submitting a planning application.
The £400 million project would see the installation of a 100 megawatt (MW) array of turbines on the sea bed off Fair Head - enough to provide energy for 70,000 homes..
The scheme, which would be developed in two stages, is the second of two tidal schemes to secure a lease from the Crown Estate.
The first stage would involve the installation of a small tidal farm of between five and 10 turbines. DPME is currently still researching under a range of water tidal technologies, including the technology used in Strangford Lough, before making a final decision on which type of turbines to use.
DPME was formed specifically to assess resource and develop both tidal and wave energy sites worldwide, with an initial focus on UK, and Irish waters.
