      TLDR; Irelands heavy use of gas

      What the article doesn’t mention is why are we using gas? And the answer is it’s needed as backup for unreliable wind and solar

      See https://www.smartgriddashboard.com/all/ right now as an example

      Because battery and hydro backup is several orders of magnitude more expensive than gas

      Ireland’s electricity is expensive mainly because gas power stations still determine the market price.
      When gas costs rise, electricity prices rise too, even when a large share of power is coming from renewables.
