      >help to bring down the cost of electricity for everyone.

      I’ll believe it when I see it.

      In my actual bill.

      RTE pushing Press Releases again with no opposing view. Can’t be having balance in reporting on RTE, can we.

      Supposedly enough to power 10,000 homes but we all know it is being soaked up by datacentres not real people.

      I would ban the use of „enough to power x thousand homes“ in these fluff pieces if I could.

      No mention of the Power Purchase Agreements(PPAs) which Statkraft surely have with commercial customers i.e. Datacentres.

      If I knew this installation was going to Domestic users and Native Commercial industries I would not be near as critical of these installations as I am.

      Great news for AI slop datacentres. Somehow I doubt that this will be any good for the rest of us.

      “Mr O’Donovan said between 10% and 14% of available wind energy is effectively wasted each year, because even when the wind is blowing, a proportion of wind turbines are turned off during the day when electricity demand is low.

      „All that power is going to waste. But by using our four-hour battery storage technology, we can capture it and effectively move it, so it is consumed at other times when electricity demand is higher,“ he said.”

      This is a good news story. Lads needs to lighten up.

      Saving wind power from going to waste has to be good news,

      *Only criticism is they could possibly make these centres blend in with the landscape, bit of an eyesore tbh*
