of UK electricity needs to come from renewable sources in 2020 to meet climate change targets. Ireland’s target is 30%
In 2007, only 5% of UK electricity came from renewable sources and Ireland imported 96% of all energy used
32%
Challenges facing the UK and Ireland
2016When UK electricity demand will exceed the capacity of present power stations
New plants under construction only delay this date until 2020
increase in electricity demand if half of Britain’s passenger cars were powered by electricity
Meeting this demand through nuclear power would require 10 new reactors
