6 FAQs about [Ireland s new energy and energy storage]

Will Ireland need more energy storage?

With a target of 80% renewable electricity from intermittent sources on our grid by 2030, Ireland will require a significant amount of energy storage in the years to come.

What is energy storage Ireland?

Energy Storage Ireland is a representative association of public and private sector organisations who are interested and active in the development of energy storage in Ireland and Northern Ireland. Delivering the energy storage technologies to enable a secure, carbon free electricity system on the island of Ireland by 2035.

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 energy storage be deployed in Ireland?

Appropriate and timely regulatory and market design is therefore essential to allow the deployment of energy storage in Ireland at the scale required to achieve current environmental policy objectives. However, the current policy framework is unsuitable to deliver the volumes and types of energy storage we will require.

What changes are needed to increase energy storage development in Ireland?

The focus group participants noted several key second stage policy areas that required changes in order to increase the amount of energy storage development in Ireland. These included legislative changes, adjustments to the planning approval process, the development of forecasting models, grid improvements and the introduction of targets.

Does Ireland need a policy framework for energy storage?

A robust policy, regulatory and commercial framework is needed to allow the deployment of energy storage in Ireland at the scale required to achieve current renewable policy objectives and our long-term decarbonisation ambitions. However, the current policy framework is unsuitable to deliver the volumes and types of energy storage we will require.
