“If we didn’t have wind energy we would have spent and extra €2 billion on gas in Ireland last year.” @NoelCunniffeIE – at Dublin City, Ireland

We're all fed up paying over the odds for our electricity, but there are many reasons for these high prices. One of them is the grid. A stronger grid means cheaper electricity. #BuildourGrid

Last year we spent more than €230 million on imported energy. At the same time we were losing clean wind energy that was generated right here in Ireland — in part because of our weak electricity grid. 1/2

During this energy crisis, it's Ireland’s wind turbines that are shielding us from the worst effects. In September, the price of electricity on the windiest days was almost €100 lower /unit than the monthly wholesale average.

Already this week wind has provided 45% of Ireland's power supply. Listen in for a breakdown of September wind energy figures and how more wind on the grid will drive down prices. @NoelCunniffeIE @JoeBLynam @NTBreakfast @NewstalkFM #EnergyCrisis #wind windenergyireland.com/latest…

In the last 24 hours, wind met 67% of Irish electricity demand. The high was 90%. Total generation met 106% of demand and averaged a 63%/37% split between wind and all other sources. Wind peaked at 70%.

Going through the data just now and it looks like yesterday - Monday, September 26 - had the highest ever wind/demand average for a September day, with wind power meeting just under 68% of electricity demand. At one point in the morning, it hit 89%.

Now we need to turn our focus on price. The average auction price was half the price of the nearest fossil fuel competitor but we can do much better with the right policies in place. We need a Government task force focused on reducing the cost of renewables in Ireland asap.

Big thanks to @ed_hawkins for updating this spirograph with latest data. It's one of the most powerful teaching tools I use to convey how little time we have left to address the #climatecrisis. Many more useful graphics here: github.com/ed-hawkins/climat… #ClimateChange
