The figure for last month was only 29pc, however, which represented a reduction in wind-power generation compared with previous Novembers.
Solar power and other renewables accounted for an additional 3pc, according to the data released by Wind Energy Ireland.
However, the group pointed out that high volumes of energy are still being “wasted”, due to constraints on the electricity grid, which limit the amount of power Irish wind farms are allowed to provide.
It claims 14pc of wind-energy production was lost between January and October this year because of challenges with the transmission network. One reason for this, according to Wind Energy Ireland, is that the electricity grid is not strong enough to carry the wind energy.
When this happens, wind farms are told either to reduce the amount of power they are producing or to shut completely, which the industry says means more expensive fossil fuels are used instead.
“When our wind and solar farms are generating electricity, we need a strong grid to ensure we can use it, and we need long-duration energy storage so we can save the excess renewable energy for when we need it,” Wind Energy Ireland CEO Noel Cunniffe said.
“Over the first 10 months of the year, 14pc of wind energy production was lost because of challenges with the transmission network. Irish families and businesses simply can’t afford to be using expensive, imported fossil fuels instead of cheaper clean energy simply because the grid isn’t strong enough to carry it.
“That is why we are calling for cross-party political support for the reinforcement of our electricity grid, as set out in EirGrid and ESB Networks’ national plans, to be among the top priorities for political parties entering into negotiations to form our next government. Investing in our electricity grid is a vital investment in our future.”
The average wholesale price of electricity in Ireland per megawatt-hour during November was €146.14, which is the highest it has been during the previous 12-month period.
Wind Energy Ireland says on days with the most wind power, the average cost of a megawatt-hour of electricity fell by 26pc to €108.84 per megawatt-hour, while it rose to €196.81 on days when the network relied almost entirely on fossil fuels.
Kerry wind farms produced more energy than those of any other county, producing 127 GWh. Cork wind farms came in second with 123 GWh, followed by Mayo at 69 GWh. Galway and Tipperary tied for fourth.
The report is based on EirGrid’s SCADA data compiled by MullanGrid, market data provided by ElectroRoute plus solar, other renewable and county-level wind generation data provided by Green Collective.
Mr Cunniffe added: “Irish people want the clean energy that wind farms provide and by growing our renewable energy sector, we can build an Ireland that is energy independent, delivering warm homes, cleaner air and one that meets the needs of our growing economy.”
