Wind energy is one of the most efficient technologies to generate electricity in a safe and environmentally sustainable way. Ireland faces an extraordinary challenge to move its energy system from one primarily based on fossil fuel to one dominated instead by renewable energy.

Onshore wind energy projects form a key part of the Irish Government’s plan to enhance clean electricity generation, reduce carbon emissions, meet Ireland’s environmental targets and move towards a more secure energy future.

We believe that wind energy will play a central role in Ireland’s transition to a low-carbon economy by 2050. 

In 2024, wind energy accounted for 32% of the electricity we used in Ireland.

Every time you switch on the TV or boil the kettle, a portion of that power is coming from wind turbines.
