I refer the Deputy to the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland's Energy In Ireland report, which provides data with regard to renewable electricity consumption. It shows that renewable generation accounted for the following percentages of electricity demand in Ireland in each of the following years:
2019: 36.5%
2020: 39%
2021: 36.4%
2022 (provisional): 36.8%
Ireland’s renewable energy share (RES) is calculated under a methodology set out in the EU’s Renewable Energy Directive.
