Ireland had a “record” year for renewables in 2022 according to ESB Networks. In the 12 months to December, 688 MW of additional renewable projects were energised. Solar energy is just beginning it’s run, and has to deploy more than thirty-years worth of wind energy projects in the next five to seven years.

How we consume energy is often just as important or more important than how much energy we consume. Install an energy monitor to get a clear picture of when and how … then use this information to better provide for your energy needs.
Gravity Storage Systems are, and should be, an essential component in any modern electricity grid. Similar to Pumped Hydro, Gravity Energy Storage Systems make ideal companions for Solar Energy in a balanced electricity generation portfolio.
