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 to (Government Of Ireland 2024a).
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.
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 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., ) 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., ).
Is Ireland's energy security deteriorating despite a capacity mechanism?
The EU Commission has signalled Ireland's deteriorating energy security despite introducing a capacity mechanism, urging immediate exploration into potential issues with the mechanism that may be resulting in a lack of private sector investment (European Commission, ). 2.2. Industry engagement
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.
