Ireland is a net energy importer. Ireland's import dependency decreased to 85% in 2014 (from 89% in 2013).
The cost of all energy imports to Ireland was approximately €5.7 billion, down from €6.5 billion (revised) in 2013 due mainly to falling oil and, to a lesser extent, gas import prices.[1]
Consumption of all fuels fell in 2014 with the exception of peat, renewables and non-renewable wastes.[1]
Final consumption of electricity in 2017 was 26 TWh, a 1.1% increase on the previous year. Renewable electricity generation, consisting of wind, hydro, landfill gas, biomass and biogas, accounted for 30.1% of gross electricity consumption.[2] In 2019, it was 31 TWh with renewables accounting for 37.6% of consumption.[3]
Energy-related CO2 emissions decreased by 2.1% in 2017 to a level 17% above 1990 levels.
Energy-related CO2 emissions were 18% below 2005 levels.[2]
60% of Irish greenhouse gas emissions are caused by energy consumption.[4]
