๐Ÿ“ฃ Irelandโ€™s power system is off coal!

Converting Moneypoint to emergency oil generators is a great idea. Oil can be stored easily, unlike fossil gas that needs complex infrastructure that risks locking in long-term dependence.
RTร‰ reporting this morning that the coal-burning units at Moneypoint will become emergency-only oil units starting today ๐Ÿ™Œ

With Kilroot in Northern Ireland - along with all other coal plants in the UK - having shut down in 2023, it looks like the end of the coal era in these islands.

2024 solar power incredible facts:
> Largest annual growth ever in absolute terms
> Fastest increase in 6 years (+29%)
> Fastest-growing power source 20th year in a row
> Doubling every 3 years

Weโ€™re going to be a ~100% renewables world by 2035

Global Electricity Review 2025 | Ember
Record renewables growth led by solar helped push clean power past 40% of global electricity in 2024, but heatwave-related demand spikes led to a small increase in fossil generation.

I wish I had some land to rewild!
Launching! ๐Ÿš€

Today I'm launching a new service for landowners in Ireland who want to rewild their land. I hope this will be the start of a network that will promote rewilding in this country - the time is right!

Wow! Wind energy provided more than 80% of Ireland's electricity yesterday.

Ireland has a target to provide 80% of electricity from renewables - wind and solar - across a whole year, by 2030, by growing solar PV, offshore wind, storage and electricity interconnection.
๐Ÿšจ A very, very rare wind energy equalling 80%+ of demand day yesterday.

This has only ever happened a handful of times, and not since as long ago as late 2022.

We may be seeing the effects of a few large wind farms that opened late last year. We'll have more analysis later today!
Renewable generation and pumped storage equalled 85% of yesterday's electricity demand, with a peak of 99% at 05:30. Fossil fuel generation (mostly gas) equalled 32% of demand. 14% of generation was exported, 0% of demand was met by imports.
