The development of ATU’s Higher Certificate in Wind Energy Technology was the launch pad for our involvement in wind energy and the broader renewable energy sector. We have also been a partner in the Bryden Centre, a €10 million Interreg V funded cross border renewable energy centre, SMART renew an NPA €1.6m renewable energy solutions in housing project and VETWIND11 which laid the foundation for the T-shore. We are also home to the National Cluster for the Blue Economy.
