Green Energy

The development and use of renewable energy is widely accepted as priority in dealing with our growing energy and environmental problems and in achieving sustainable development. The support of the Irish Government and the wider international community has provided significant new impetus for the development of renewable energy projects across the country. As a result, renewable energy in Ireland has more than doubled in the last 5 years, primarily due to significant growth in wind energy. This growth phase is expected to continue as Ireland works towards achieving both national and Kyoto targets.
As with all developing industries the wind sector is not without its challenges and the on going development of the grid infrastructure; the alignment of planning regulations and the implementation of the SEM continue to top the agenda. In addition, the current economic environment has brought its own challenges in the form of volatile energy prices, short supply of credit and increasing project finance costs.
