Ireland's Renewable Energy Milestone: 8 Gigawatts
Irelands Renewable Energy Milestone: 8 Gigawatts of Wind and Solar
Ireland has reached a significant milestone in its clean energy push, adding 189 megawatts of wind and solar capacity in the first two months of this year. This brings the total installed renewable electricity capacity to 8 gigawatts, with wind energy supplying nearly 50% of all electricity used in February. This achievement, hailed by Minister Darragh OBrien, marks a major shift towards reliable, homegrown power, with Ireland now getting more electricity from onshore wind farms than any other European country. These gains come amid global energy concerns, enhancing energy security and protecting households and businesses from fossil fuel price shocks.
