Re: What makes them PIIGS? (4.00 / 2)
Colman and Frank, only 10% of Irish Electricity is generated with Oil; Coal supports 30% and Gas 50%. This seems a typical modern setting without Nuclear, where Coal assures baseload and Gas load balancing. Oil kicks in only during high demand episodes.

Note also that Ireland only produces 10% of Gas it consumes.
