Published 2 weeks, 6 days ago
Description
About 15% of the power produced by Irish wind farms in the first half of the year was thrown away because the network was not strong enough to move it, according to Wind Energy Ireland.

Joining Shane to discuss this Lisa Ryan, Professor in Energy Economics at the UCD School of Economics and the UCD Energy Institute.
