Recent upgrades to Donegal’s power lines are boosting its clean energy delivery across Ireland. Yet, grid limits on peak wind days still mean lost renewable energy. Learn more about these improvements and the need for ongoing investment. #BuildOurGrid eu1.hubs.ly/H0dshv80

Scores of British MPs campaigning for more overhead power lines because they know it's the most efficient and cost-effective way to build a strong electricity grid. Will we get any TDs willing to do the same during this election? theguardian.com/environment/20…

On 4th June 2024, despite ideal wind conditions, Donegal lost about two-thirds of its wind generation due to grid limitations—enough electricity to power over 900 homes for a year! However Justin Moran explains there’s some positive news from the county. eu1.hubs.ly/H0dm9LR0

Our energy grid is holding back Ireland’s potential for clean, renewable power. It's crucial we invest in grid infrastructure to ensure wind and solar farms can power more homes across Ireland. We must unlock the power of renewable energy #BuildOurGrid #UnlockRenewableEnergy

Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt making a movie about electrification of power demand wasn’t something I expected but am definitely here for it.

In Ireland Electrified we are developing policy positions to help the transition to electric heat and transport, so that it can fulfil its immense potential. Some of our current policy priorities are looking the grid connections issues and electricity pass-through costs.

CRU adds second application window to accelerate renewable energy! #BuildourGrid eu1.hubs.ly/H0cFWPr0

The amount of renewable energy available but not used last month -- due to contraints or curtailment -- reached 43% in Northern Ireland and 22.5% in the Republic last month according to an article in today's @Renews. #BuildourGrid

We urgently need to strengthen the grid to accommodate all available renewable energy and protect consumers from international fossil fuel prices. Sign the letter to tell our leaders to #BuildourGrid 🔽 eu1.hubs.ly/H0cBN1C0

Four projects have been approved by the planning system this year so far. That’s a total of around 228 MW of electricity. In order to meet Govts targets, An Bord Pleanála would have needed to approve 860MW in that time. Read more 🔽 eu1.hubs.ly/H0btyBD0

What is the grid anyway and why do we need it?

Without a stronger grid, no one wins. Grid infrastructure and upgrade projects are vital to the success of clean energy in Ireland. . . . #BuildourGrid

Floating wind energy on the west coast is a great idea, just one question, where’s my grid? @moranjustin explains why the debate about floating offshore wind needs a reality check 👇🏻 eu1.hubs.ly/H09kXY00

Simple question for all MNW candidates in #EE24 to see if they support Irish energy security. Will they publicly support the North-South Interconnector going ahead ASAP? One of the main asks in the WEI #EE24 & #LE24 manifesto launched today. windenergyireland.com/latest-news/77…

Ahead of the elections next month, we are encouraging MEP candidates to address the need to invest in developing a strong Irish and European electricity grid that can distribute clean, affordable power from where it is generated to where it is needed. irishexaminer.com/business/econo…

@CiaranCuffe at #WEIoffshore: Grids are the poor relation when it comes to renewable energy US: It doesn't have to be that way!! #BuildourGrid
