Strong wind generation for this time of year while solar reaches new highs - this and more in our review of April on the Irish grid. greencollective.io/post/april2024
Yesterday, Irish wind, hydro, and pumped storage generation equalled 14% of electricity demand. At one point, these sources were fulfilling 21% of demand. Other sources (mostly gas) equalled 69% of demand. 0% of generation was exported, 18% of demand was met by imports.

Our monthly report yesterday was the first in which we didn't single out wind power - we felt the solar record(s) should headline. However, it was the second best April yet for wind power - just behind 2023: - 1077GWh vs. 1112GWh - 32.5% vs. 34.6% of demand fulfilled 🍃🥈📈

Last week, the Irish grid emitted on average 306g of CO₂ for each KWh of electricity generated. That's significantly higher than the YTD average of 221g: winds were low, and renewables/storage combined fulfilled just 25.4% of electricity demand vs. fossil fuels' 57.5%. 🔎🏭

@IrishEnergyBot @Pidge Even that is pretty incredible given how little of it we've tapped into. I always assumed solar would be pretty useless in Ireland but clearly not.
@IrishEnergyBot Sorry, bad wording on my part! Just can't get over that we'd reach that level - even momentarily. Mad stuff.
@IrishEnergyBot The only bot worth listening to on this platform. Great work as always 👍🏻
@IrishEnergyBot We'll take second best just this once.
On sunny days the solar energy we have already installed can supply 13% of our demand for electricity, already. #EnergyTransition
During April, renewables and storage fulfilled 40.9% of demand on the Irish grid which we estimate emitted on average 237g CO₂ for each KWh of electricity generated. Solar again set new records: on April 20/21 output exceeded 500MW, or ~13% of demand at the time. 🏅☀️
@IrishEnergyBot You can view and download your import/export data if you register for an ESB Networks account. Very handy if you're into that sort of thing! This shows how I currently charge my battery with 'cheap' power over night and export at a higher rate during the day.
@IrishEnergyBot Info on deemed export
@IrishEnergyBot Regular ESB Networks smart meter for me. It all happens automatically. For those without a smart meter, they use a 'deemed export' calculation but I believe that's being phased out.
@IrishEnergyBot We have ordinary smart meter. I can follow the house usage and sell back via the Solis app.
@IrishEnergyBot One smart meter does all, calculates how much you owe for import and how much you are paid for export.
@IrishEnergyBot One smart meter is enough to track both import and export
@IrishEnergyBot No smart meters in NI for domestic only ROI
@IrishEnergyBot tracked with a 24H meter(NON -HH) and thye have another register for the export readings hope this helps
@IrishEnergyBot Smart meter is capable of tracking power flow in both directions. Before the smart meter was installed the payout was just estimated.
@IrishEnergyBot Balancing market was long pretty much all evening yesterday. They’ll often hold TH off/reduce them vs PN and hold their capacity for later. Where do you get all your data from? Is it all sem-o or do you use other sources too? Curious about the solar data in particular.
@rs_reid @IrishEnergyBot Currently caps at 1GW for island of Ireland
@IrishEnergyBot This is an excellent image. Thank you for carrying out this task. Something I've always wondered and it is great to see it in an easy to understand format.
@IrishEnergyBot @harkin_ben Firms set their own standing and variable tariffs so they can cross subsidise from fixed to variable and vice versa. We had a Box in the QEC last year looking and wholesale-retail passthrough. It's a complex area! esri.ie/system/files/p…
