Amharc ar fhreagraThe integration of wind generation in Ireland has increased steadily in recent years. In 2012, approximately 16% of electricity supplied to Irish consumers – domestic, commercial and industrial - was derived from wind power. If all renewable generation supplied to consumers is included, this figure increases to 17.3% representing significant progress from a 5% level in 2005.
