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.
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.
If this pipeline was built out, the report states that Ireland could capture all of that wasted energy, further reducing our reliance on fossil fuels, and driving down energy costs for consumers. "Energy storage solutions can transform our electricity system for the better," said Bobby Smith, head of Energy Storage 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).
