Waste No Wind Power | Dublin News

Independent TD Barry Heneghan, a former engineer, is pushing urgent new legislation to tackle Ireland’s electricity grid overload by letting communities and businesses directly share locally generated renewable energy—cutting waste and easing soaring household bills. With enough wind power to power 600,000 homes wasted last year due to grid limitations, his bill introduces “private wires” regulated by the Commission for Regulation of Utilities, with approvals promised within six months. While he supports long-term grid upgrades, Heneghan insists this is a practical, immediate fix to stop throwing clean energy away while families pay Europe’s highest rates.
