Where does Ireland get its energy from?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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.
