In this episode of ESG Talks, Arianne Schreier, an Associate Director on KBRA’s ESG team, chats with Gordon Kerr, Head of European Research and host of KBRA’s Conversations in European Credit podcast. Arianne and Gordon discuss a recent KBRA research report, “Offshore Wind: Opportunities and Challenges to Irish Development.” The report explores Ireland’s renewable energy market and how the country's ambitious renewable energy targets could become a realistic proposition in the coming years. Offshore wind energy has already played a prominent role in Danish, UK, and other European markets, and it now offers an emerging opportunity for transforming Ireland's energy landscape. However, significant obstacles remain, including political, regulatory, and commercial challenges. The podcast conversation covers key takeaways from the report and implications for the future.
