The Ormonde project was originally proposed in 2002 by Eclipse Energy (Enterprize Energy's predecessor) as a hybrid wind and natural gas operation. The Ormonde Project achieved several 'global-first’ accolades: first commercial project to utilise four-legged ‘jacket’-type turbine sub-structures; first commercial deployment of 5MW turbines, and the longest single export cable one-piece installation (42km). In 2008, Vattenfall acquired Eclipse Energy and its full project portfolio. Vattenfal consequently developed the Ormonde offshore wind farm as a wind-only project.
