Irish Farmers Connecting to the Grid  

On-site generation of renewable electricity has become an element of many farming businesses across Europe. To encourage deployment of green technologies, Ireland has introduced RESS incentive to encourage early adopters while making the prospect of producing electricity to feed directly to the grid an attractive one to those with reasonable resources and access to a grid connection. Barry Caslin will discuss options for micro-generation, community projects and large scale options for the Agri-industry to produce and sell renewable electricity whilst de-carbonising electricity production in Ireland.
