Ireland imports 90 % of its energy
Sep 27, 2002 02:00 AM
Ireland is now using EUR 100 mm in energy every week, 90 % of which is imported, according to Sustainable Energy
Ireland (SEI).
Mr Paul Kellett, technical manager of SEI's Renewable Energy Information Office, said that given continued increases
in the cost of oil, the State could no longer afford to ignore the merits of renewable energy. He was speaking at the
opening of Ireland's first ever Renewable Energy Forum in Cork.
