Irish Energy Storage Project Institute
June 2022 This position paper sets out ESI’s views on the need for Long-Duration Energy Storage in Ireland and how a new procurement framework that provides a form of long-term revenue certainty is. [pdf]FAQS about Irish Energy Storage Project Institute
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.
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.
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).
Is Ireland a game changer for long duration energy storage?
Ireland – A Game Changer for Long Duration Energy Storage? This is the first electricity storage policy published in Ireland. The Irish Government’s Climate Action Plan 2021 set out the need for an energy storage policy for Ireland to support 75% reduction in power sector CO2 emissions by 2030.
What is Ireland's Electricity storage policy framework?
The policy framework is a first of kind policy, which clarifies the key role of electricity storage in Ireland’s transition to an electricity-led system, supporting Irelands 2030 climate targets, it may be considered as a steppingstone on Ireland’s path to net zero carbon emissions.
Are there policy barriers to energy storage in Ireland?
This reflects the findings of (Haji Bashi et al., 2022) which indicate the existence of significant policy barriers in the development of energy storage in Ireland and research which highlights gaps in public knowledge on the topic of energy storage (Zaunbrecher et al., 2016).

Which energy storage projects have been commissioned in Switzerland?
Axpo commissioned its BESS in February this year while utility Thurplus commissioned a 3MW system in September last year. But Switzerland was the location for one of the largest energy storage projects commissioned in recent years, a 20GWh pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) unit which started operations in June 2022 in the Canton of Valais.
How will a large-scale storage system help the Swiss power grid?
In this way, the system will help to stabilise the Swiss power grid. With this large-scale storage system, we are making a decisive contribution to the implementation of Switzerland’s Energy Strategy 2050, which aims to convert 100 per cent of its energy supply to renewable energies by 2050.
Where in Switzerland will Primeo energy install a battery storage system?
In Kappel, in the canton of Solothurn, we will install one of the largest battery storage systems in Switzerland with a total capacity of 65 megawatt hours. Primeo Energie will use the stand-alone storage system to make energy more flexible and store electricity temporarily and withdraw it again when it is needed.
Is MW storage the country's largest battery storage project?
MW Storage is a developer of BESS projects which is also active in the German market, with a 100MW/200MWh project underway that it claimed is the country’s largest. The inauguration ceremony for the BESS project. Image: EWS AG. EWS AG and MW Storage have expanded a battery storage project in Switzerland to 28MW, making it the country's largest.
Does Switzerland's new large-scale battery support the Energy Strategy 2050?
The new large-scale battery for Switzerland in Kappel supports the Energy Strategy 2050 and supports renewable energies.
How will Primeo energy contribute to the Swiss energy transition?
We are delighted to be taking a significant step in the Swiss energy transition together with Primeo Energie. In Kappel, in the canton of Solothurn, we will install one of the largest battery storage systems in Switzerland with a total capacity of 65 megawatt hours.
