Energy industry
Most of the energy demand is covered by imports (mainly from Great Britain).
Ireland itself produced energy in 2018 from natural gas (53.9%), coal (10.7%), peat (10.3%), crude oil (0.8%) as well as from wind power (16.3%), hydropower (1, 3%) and other renewable sources as well as waste incineration.
The secured natural gas reserves are given as 9.9 billion m 3 and are located off the south coast in the Kinsale Head gas field, which has been in operation since 1978, and in the smaller Ballycotton gas field (discovered in 1989). A large wind farm is in operation off the coast of Dublin. The most powerful hydropower plant is Turlough Hill, Ireland’s only pumped storage power plant. In 2019 Ireland started the extensive energy program “Renewable Electricity Support Scheme” (program to support electricity production from renewable sources), the aim of which is to achieve a 70% green electricity share by 2030.
