Rabbitte Launches SEAI study of Ireland's Electricity System
Pictured at the launch of the study in Dublin are SEAI Chief Executive, Brian Motherway; Energy and Natural Resouces Minister Pat Rabbitte, and SEAI Energy Modelling Specialist, Matthew Clancy.
A comprehensive study of Ireland’s electricity system in 2012 by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) showed that renewable electricity resulted in greatly reduced use of gas, coal and peat, saving Ireland 245 million in fossil fuels and reducing CO2 emissions by 1.9 million tonnes.
