Ireland's electricity grid recorded spikes in demand during some of the summer's biggest sporting events, data from the transmission system operator EirGrid shows. Last month's All-Ireland football and hurling finals both saw increases of around 80 Megawatts (MW) in electricity demand at points during the GAA showpiece events. The biggest increase during both games was seen at half time, with demand rising again by 70 MW after the end of the first 70 minutes during Clare and Cork's pulsating encounter in the hurling final. A further spike of 60 MW was seen shortly following the trophy presentation in the Armagh Galway football final. Peak electricity demand on both Sundays stood at between 3650 MW - 3750 MW, with usage rising noticeably during brief time windows corresponding with stoppages in play during the games as other appliances such as kettles are switched on. A further spike of around 80 MW was seen shortly after full time in the European Championships football final between Spain and England. Other major events which did not feature defined breaks and which took place over either a shorter timespan, such as Olympic races involving Ireland's swimming medallists Mona McSharry and Daniel Wiffen, or over a longer period such as the Olympics opening ceremony did not reflect the same defined spikes in activity. EirGrid operates and manages Ireland's high-voltage transmission system, with electricity then taken from the transmission system and supplied to properties including homes and businesses through the distribution system, operated by ESB Networks. Latest provisional data published by EirGrid today shows that 28.7% of electricity used in Ireland during the month of July came from renewable sources. The amount of electricity generated from grid-scale solar reached another new peak of 118 GWh (Gigawatt hours) across the month, meeting 4.5% of electricity demand, up from the previous record of just over 100 GWh in June. July also saw a number of new peaks recorded for grid-scale solar activity for a one-minute period, with a series of records set and subsequently broken between the 25th (663 MW) and 31st (733 MW) of July. Gigawatt hours (GWh) values reflect energy usage over a longer period of time, while Megawatt (MW) values reflect point-in-time peaks. More than 21.5% of all electricity used in July came from wind farms, with a total generation of 569 GWh for the month. The remainder of the 28.7% renewables total came from a range of other sources, including hydropower and biomass. Overall electricity system demand stood at 2,647 GWh for July. Gas generation accounted for 44.6% of all electricity used over the month, with 20% being imported via interconnection, 5.5% coming from coal, and the remaining 1% from other sources. EirGrid is responsible for leading Ireland's transition to a low carbon future so that 80% of electricity can come from renewables by 2030, as set out in Government targets. Diarmaid Gillespie, Director of System Operations at EirGrid, said: "Solar power had another strong month on the electricity grid in July, and this trend will be of increasing importance over the coming years so that we can rely on a reasonably steady supply of renewables at different times of the year."

Sligo swimmer Mona McSharry joins Austin O'Callaghan to reflect on her Olympic qualification in the 100m breaststroke - and why she decided not to contest the 200m final at the Irish Olympic Trials this weekend.

Caradh caught up with Sligo swimmer Mona McSharry on iScore today following her Olympic qualification earlier this week. Mona talked about her focus on the upcoming European Championships as well as the Olympic Games in Tokyo which are less than three months away.She also spoke about her recent success at the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) 2021 Women's Swimming and Diving Championships in the US. The NCAA have been criticised for their treatment of athletes and their position of not paying athletes. While McSharry doesn't feel athletes should necessarily be paid she does believe that she should be permitted to promote herself. “It would be nice to be able to promote myself, I guess, which were not really allowed to do right now”.
