Irish wind farms provided 41% of the country’s electricity in March and at 1,537 GWh of power produced were the country’s main source of electricity for the second month in a row, new figures show today.
The figures from Wind Energy Ireland show that Kerry regained its position as Ireland’s number one source of wind energy with around 160 GWh of power generated.
It was followed by Cork at 138 GWh, while Offaly rose to third place with 120 GWh. Galway and Tyrone rounded out the top five with 113 GWh and 108 GWh respectively.
Wind Energy Ireland said that rising gas prices drove the average wholesale price of electricity in Ireland last month up by 19% compared to February, but the contribution by Irish wind farms kept prices lower than in March last year
And yet electricity bills still pretend it was 100% generated from gas. If ordinary people got the benefits of local, renewable energy sources there might be less objecting.
Must be nice to get 41% of your electricity from one of the cheapest sources available that also doesn’t fill the air with pollution.
I’m just here in the US wondering what we can do with wind power along all three coastlines and our conveniently flat central plains.
Or what we can do with our plentiful sun in the southern half of our nation.
I really wonder if we did a gradual transition, how many more jobs we can create and extend and how much economic growth we can create and do it all without more dangerous power sources.
Too progressive , too socialist. Too sensible .

and 0.41% was solar
That’s great, we need more than that though. Build more nuke plants
which country
In Denmark it was close to 90%
Called windmills, don’t you know?
Which country?
Texas has more than 50% renewables. 100GW installed wind and solar, like 8GW battery storage.
Drive through the USA Midwest and you’ll see countless wind farms.
Denmark is at 56 percent. US is at 10.
Taylor Sheridan furiously writing more anti windmill monologues into Landman as we speak
Is it possible to make wind turbines out of solar panel material?
Yes but how many birds died!?!
Any rise in cancer? I bet, no.
Ireland. If you were wondering which country
Which Country??
