Ireland hit new record for solar production during March


March 14 saw 750MW of electricity produced from solar power

Some 750MW of electricity from solar was produced at one point on March 25, enough to power around 300,000 homes and 18 MW more than a previous record set in July 2024. EirGrid systems operation manager Charlie McGee said that March was a landmark month for solar power in Ireland. This shows the need for battery storage "so we can hold greater amounts of renewable electricity in reserve for use during periods of high demand", said Mr McGee.
