The report found that Kerry provided 187 GWh, followed by Cork and Tipperary .
Together, the top Munster counties provided nearly a third of Ireland's wind power.
Director of External Affairs at Wind Energy Ireland, Justin Moran, says "particularly [wind farms] in Kerry are playing an enormous part in reducing Ireland’s carbon emissions by over 4 million tonnes a year and creating significant opportunities in job creation and funding for rural communities".
