U.S. Department of Energy - Chu in Ireland: A Case Study in Wind Power | DOE Blog

Ireland has set an aggressive goal of obtaining 40 percent of its annual electricity needs from renewable energy by 2020, almost all of which will come from wind. In fact, at one point on April 4, 2010, Ireland was able to draw 50 percent of its electricity from wind. Of course, wind is a variable source of energy, and one of the challenges Ireland faces as wind becomes a greater share of the power mix is ensuring a stable, reliable flow of electricity even when the wind stops blowing.
