Ireland could be “renewable energy superpower” Markey

Offshore renewable energy production must be deployed more rapidly if the EU is to meet its climate neutral goals over the next thirty years.

That’s a key finding of a European Parliament report which MEPs are voting on today (Tuesday).

According to the report, the cost of developing offshore wind energy has fallen dramatically over the last two decades. And it is now one of the most competitive sources of energy.

Fine Gael MEP Colm Markey says Ireland could benefit enormously if it exploited offshore wind resources surrounding it.
