Irish Wind Energy Association new CEO takes the reins
03 April, 2018
Dr. David Connolly, CEO, IWEA “I am passionate about the wind industry in Ireland and so taking up the role of CEO of the Irish Wind Energy Association is a real honour and opportunity. And I am ambitious for its future – I believe we can do more with this home grown resource. I’ve worked in the industry in other countries and I’ve seen how it can flourish with the right support. We have no shortage of talent in Ireland, no shortage of willing workers, no shortage of demand for green energy and thankfully no shortage of wind. My challenge and opportunity is to build on this strong base to ensure wind and renewable energy continues to play a pivotal role. And that the benefits of this are felt by all, communities close to wind farms and all Irish energy consumers in their bills.”

Wind Energy keeps Ireland moving during storm
07 March, 2018
“There were many champions during last week’s snow and storm, and Ireland’s wind energy was among them. Our green resource stepped up to the mark supplying an impressive 58% of our electricity needs on Friday. Other days also showed similar impressive stats with 44% of Ireland’s electricity met by wind energy on Thursday and 43% on Wednesday last. As a nation we continue to excel in this area. We are proud that even the ‘Beast from the East’ couldn’t dim the vigour of our home grown power.” Dr David Connolly, IWEA
