EirGrid reports that the risk of winter power outages in Ireland is notably lower due to a buffer of over 1,000MW, supported by new wind, solar, and battery capacity added to the network. This marks an improvement in grid resilience, though the exact margin and potential for extreme weather remain uncertain.
