Technical FAQs 4

Does Ireland need more energy storage?

This study documents industry perspectives from Ireland, a country which requires a significant increase in the development of energy storage due to security of supply concerns, its isolation from Europe’s central transmission network and its reliance on wind energy as a primary intermittent renewable energy resource.

When will long duration energy storage be available in Ireland?

The Irish Electricity Storage Policy Framework, published after this data was collected, indicates that an immediate route to market for 500 MW of long duration energy storage is currently being developed, with further studies planned to support long duration storage from 2030 to 2040 (Government Of Ireland 2024a).

Can battery storage operators trade electricity on the All-Ireland wholesale market?

However, from next month, battery storage operators will be permitted to trade electricity on the all-Ireland wholesale market, opening a new source of supply in a move that one industry figure predicts could ease costs.

Is Ireland a good place to invest in battery storage?

Ireland hosts one of Europe's largest battery storage projects (Grundy, 2021) and an additional 1.5 GW of storage is earmarked for development (O'Sullivan 2023). In Ireland, first stage goals of greater levels of renewables on the system and improved grid security are addressed through the DS3 and Capacity Remuneration Mechanism (CRM).
