## Resource

Ireland’s solar power is hitting record highs, supplying a third of the nation’s energy on a sunny Monday — but the grid can’t keep up, forcing clean energy to go to waste. While solar’s shining bright, wind powered 38% of April’s electricity, and renewables met half of Ireland’s demand overall. The government’s grid investment plans are a start, but urgent upgrades are needed to fully harness this green boom. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
