Ireland’s Wind Energy Reaches Record High in October, But Future Looks Grim
In October, wind generation in Ireland reached 35% of the country’s electricity, marking the third highest monthly output recorded, as reported by Wind Energy Ireland. Despite this success, predictions suggest a decline in 2024 due to grid limitations that led to losses in wind energy production. Over the first nine months of 2023, 14% of potential wind energy was wasted. Kerry topped the county rankings for wind production, contributing significantly to reducing carbon emissions.
