You will no doubt remember yesterday’s about Jillian Ambrose’s latest propaganda piece for Renewable UK in the Telegraph.
She stated:
As on the UK mainland, Northern Ireland is under pressure to attract investment in new power generation as older fossil fuel plants steadily shut down. It currently relies heavily on imports from the Republic of Ireland but is eager to reduce this dependence.
You would of course be entitled to believe that the Republic of Ireland is doing everything that Northern Ireland is not.
But you would be wrong.
These are the electricity stats for 2016. (Note – the total electricity generation figures for N Ireland, but not the split, are based on govt numbers for 2015, the latest available).
There is in fact very little difference in either country’s power mix. Both rely heavily on fossil fuels.
What is absolutely evident is that when the wind does not blow, both will be utterly reliant on the other’s fossil fuels.
But for some reason. Jillian forgot to mention this!
