The Department itself does not own or operate any electricity generation assets of any technology.

The commercial semi-state companies operating in the energy markets own and operate different renewable generation technologies including wind, biomass and hydro technologies. In 2018, 32.5% of our electricity was generated from renewable sources, the majority from wind (27.6%).

While the information sought by the Deputy regarding the individual companies is an operational matter for each body, I will request the relevant companies to reply directly to the Deputy with the information requested in respect of their organisation.
