Wind ‘not enhancing stability of grid’

Wind energy ‘unstable’ due to how it is generated, John McGinley said.

Ireland already has one of the world’s most unstable electricity grids even before a further 3,900MW of wind energy is added to the system.

Davy stockbroker analyst Joseph McGinley said Eirgrid has done an amazing job in keeping the energy grid operating without blackouts due to the huge proportion of Irish energy that is now being generated from wind power.
