Case Study: Energia Group completes offshore wind farm study in 3 weeks with Continuum Industries' Optioneer

Energia completes offshore wind farm study in 3 weeks with Continuum Industries

Energia Group, an energy company supporting the Irish Government's offshore wind targets, faced the challenge of selecting grid connection points and export cable routes for two large offshore wind farms. The project's complexity, with near-infinite routing options and tight deadlines, posed a serious risk of delays from stakeholder objections or insufficient analysis. To address this, they worked with Continuum Industries and their partner Xodus, using the AI-powered Optioneer platform.

Continuum Industries' Optioneer enabled the team to explore and assess millions of potential route options against environmental, social, engineering, and cost criteria simultaneously. This process, which would have taken nine months with traditional methods, was completed in just three weeks. The solution drastically reduced resource time from 216 to 72 FTE days and allowed for major route changes in minutes instead of weeks, helping Energia accelerate progress on its projects.
