The process has guaranteed a relatively low price of renewable energy for households for the next 20 years \u2013 around 86 euros per megawatt hour. The auction added 3 gigawatts to the energy mix in the form of four offshore wind farms \u2013 enough to power around 2.5 million homes. The addition will boost the country\u2019s Climate Action Plan \u2013 a 51% share for renewables in the energy mix by 2030. The addition of the new offshore wind capacities accounts for around a third of Ireland\u2019s entire energy consumption.<\/p>\n<p>The new offshore wind farms participated in an Offshore Renewable Electricity Support Scheme (ORESS). The process is designed to drive competition between bidders, driving prices for end consumers down. Renewable energy projects competed against each other by bidding as low as possible to win contracts to provide electricity for a twenty-year period.<\/p>\n<p>In this way, Ireland was able to ensure an extremely competitive price of 86 euros per megawatt-hour \u2013 one of the lowest for wind energy in the world. For comparison, the average wholesale electricity price in Ireland over the past 12 months was more than 200 euros per megawatt hour.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.themayor.eu\/en\/a\/view\/breakthrough-for-offshore-wind-in-ireland-with-power-for-2-5-million-homes-11811\">The Mayor<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/7-365\/\">Breakthrough for offshore wind in Ireland, with power for 2.5 million homes<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,3345,2915,1333],"class_list":["post-114277","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-ireland","tag-offshore","tag-wind"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114277","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=114277"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114277\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=114277"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=114277"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=114277"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
