Wind Energy Ireland

This week, we were in Leinster House briefing TDs and Senators from across the country on how wind energy is already powering Ireland, and the even greater role it can play in our future. We spoke about where we are now: ✅ A third of Ireland’s electricity already comes from wind ✅ We’re among the world’s leaders in onshore wind And where we need to go: 🔧 Fixing our planning system with adequate resourcing for An Bord Pleanála and NPWS ⚡ Investing in our grid and our ports to unlock offshore wind Ireland can be a world leader in renewables, but only if we match ambition with action.
