Solar
PV Solar has become widely adopted in the recent years thanks to advances in Photovaltaic Technology. Currently, Ireland is poised to greatly increase its energy portfolio by introducing large scale solar generation farms to the energy mix both on homes and on the ground. With the modularity, the ease of installation, and the increasing efficiency of solar panels, we believe that solar is going to be key in transforming our international power grid.
Wind
In 2017, Wind energy accounted for a quarter of all energy production in Ireland, and that jumped to 30% just the following year. It’s easy to see how important wind has become in the renewable energy sector, and that’s thanks to its immense power production it is able to produce. An average wind turbine of 3 Megawatts is capable of producing 1,500 average EU households with electricity for 1 year. This efficiency means that its especially useful for Sustainable Energy Communities and Co-Operatives who want to change their town’s infrastructure to be cleaner and more efficient.

Transitioning into a greener energy future creates a number of challenges to the national grid. Gas Peaking occurs when there are high amounts of energy being used, mostly during the mornings and late evenings. During these spikes in energy usage, Gas Peaking Plants accurately and effectively supply extra energy to ensure our energy demands are met. This type of generation is highly flexible and will enable us to move away from inefficient large peat and coal burning stations. The aim of these plants is to support a higher penetration of renewable energy of the electrical network.
