Our onshore, renewable approach to wind energy comes nowhere near producing enough energy to satisfy our daily minimum power demand from the national grid.
At long last, however, there is momentum in the direction of offshore wind, with four developers securing State-backed contracts for Ireland’s first offshore wind energy.
At the same time, several of the onshore “small nuclear reactors” coming on stream in Canada are likely to be another possible response to the increasing difficulty in guaranteeing a supply of onshore, clean and affordable energy in Ireland.
