Record output for Irish wind farms
Eirgrid, the operators of the national transmission grid, has said today that it has reached a new record in the output of Ireland's wind farms.
The group has revealed that the amount of power generated through wind last Wednesday evening was 1,412 megawatts.
That i's enough power to supply the equivalent of 918,000 homes across the country.
Eirgrid hopes to expand the number of wind farms in Ireland over the next five years, with plans to export power to neighbouring Wales.
