Over 60 wind turbines that could power as many as 600,000 homes in the capital is being planned for Dublin bay.
The supersized electricity generators would be built in Dublin Array on the Kish and Bray Banks just around 10km off the coast of Dublin and Wicklow.
They will be over 300m in height and will be headed by German energy giant RWE and Irish company Saorgus costing €1.5billion and creating around 100 new jobs.
The companies are liasing with the public in advance of completing the planning application with the consultation period ending on November 20.
Environmental Expert John Gibbons said the impact it would have on the beautiful Dublin Bay view would be worth it.
He said: "I am looking at the mock-up images they have produced and it will change the view, for example, that I would get when I walk down where I live out Dun Laoghaire way.
"You will see the new wind farm on the horizon but you know what? I think it is a very small price to pay for what we are getting."
He added: "The array we are looking at here is around 900 megawatts. To put that in context, that is the equivalent of the giant Moneypoint coal-fired power station down in Clare."
