Ireland's energy comes primarily from the national electricity company called the ESB. Ireland has natural gas. Some power stations are powered by peat. Ireland does not have its own oil, so it imports it. It does have natural sources of energy, so there are large wind turbines both on and off shore which generates a lot of natural energy through wind farms and also from wave power. This a growing part of the energy production, as new wind farms are being created. Some houses get their energy from solar panels.
Ireland has small amounts of coal available, and some oil, but natural gas is plentiful in the sea around Ireland and the gas fields are developed by a nationalised company. Ireland also has a lage amount of peat in bogs, this is a fossil fuel that would become coal if given time to compress over millions of years. The peat is harvested by another nationalised company and is used in power plants to provide energy for the country.
Ireland is famous for its uses of sustainable energy. The people use wind powered windmills that produces nearly 45% of the countries energy. Solar power energy is another provider for sustainable energy that the people of Ireland take full advantage of.

energy is greatly used, that being heat from the ground
Ireland has many electricity generating stations around the country that generates the electricity used in Ireland.
No, there are no nuclear power stations in Ireland.
Neither the Republic of Ireland nor the island of Ireland as a whole has any nuclear power.

The main electricity company in Northern Ireland is the Northern Ireland Electricity Service (NIES). NIES was formed as a public utility to supply, transmit and generate energy to Northern Ireland.
Ireland (novanet)
Research and development of renewable energy has been ongoing in Ireland since 2004. Wind farms have been built in Cork, Donegal, Mayo and Antrim.
