Wind power generation in Ireland rose by 28%

06/06/2016

Irish wind production rose by 28% in 2015 and presently represents one fifth of all electricity generation in the country.

New data from the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) demonstrate that gains by the country’s onshore wind farms were compensated by increase in the use of fossil fuels such as coal and peat. This resulted in a net marginal growth in the carbon intensity of power generation. SEAI manager of low carbon technologies Eimear Cotter declared that the figures show the complexity of Irish energy system and the correlation of economic growth, green energy consumption and fossil fuel prices.
