Wind Energy Ireland annual report

Wind’s best year on record

Wind Energy Ireland confirmed that wind farms provided 35 per cent of Ireland and Northen Ireland’s electricity in 2023, totalling a record breaking 13,725 gigawatt-hours (GWh).

This figure represents the largest annual amount of wind power generated by our wind farms to date and it is equivalent to the electricity consumption of more than 3 million Irish families, surpassing the previous record of 13,699 GWh set in 2020.

It follows a particularly strong performance last month with wind energy providing exactly half the country’s electricity, making it the best month for wind power generation in 2023.

100 Million Trees Project

Recently one of our employees took part in the 100 Million Trees Project, which is a national initiative aiming to plant 100 million native Irish trees across the island of Ireland throughout the next decade. 2500 trees were planted on a 1 acre site in Kilkenny. This area will sequester 30 tonnes of carbon per annum. An average household in Ireland emits 12 tonnes of carbon per annum. This area will also provide some much needed habitat for biodiversity.

If you would like to get involved all you need to do provide a map with the area you want planted outlined and prepare the site for planting. The trees and tree planting service is free. See all details on the website https://100milliontreesproject.ie/

You will find contact info for the project team on the website. Also you can watch one of their youtube videos here
