Ireland faces up to 6.25 hours without electricity this winter
Dublin: There are signs that Ireland may face a power outage this winter. The power outage is part of a European Union decision to reduce energy costs.
Ireland is expected to be the second-most affected country in the EU by power outages. The department authorities are now indicating that Ireland will lose 6.25 hours of power per month. Although this will only happen for a few minutes every day, it is significant because it may be the first time in the history of Ireland.
According to Air Grid, 51 hours of power outages will be required during the five-month winter period. They conclude that a customer will be without power for at least four hours. Although the Irish Prime Minister has stated that he will try to keep households from experiencing power outages, figures from the Department of Electricity show that the new conditions are not conducive to this.
According to the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E), the country will be under severe energy pressure by November and December. A 5% reduction in peak-hour power consumption can reduce the risk of power outages. According to ENTSO-E, a 10% reduction would be a significant gain. This observation is less than AirGrid’s calculation. There was an electricity outage for 17.4 hours last winter.
Ireland receives most of its gas from the United Kingdom. Gas is the primary source of electricity in Ireland. The energy crisis will cause serious problems throughout Europe, according to Prime Minister Micheal Martin.
It is estimated that France will be without power for up to 26 hours. This is the highest figure in the EU, where many countries, including Italy, have already begun implementing partial restrictions. This is due to the low level of nuclear production. The power outages will primarily affect Malta and Cyprus. Cyprus is the only EU country without an energy connection to the European mainland. Norway and Sweden are under pressure to maintain their current energy consumption levels.
