What is the energy storage sector like in Ireland?
Decommissioning and recycling at end of life In Ireland, the energy storage sector comprises mainly of an operational pumped hydro generation facility and c.700MW of short duration batteries providing system services, this will need to grow to c.4.5 GW by the mid 2030s.
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).
Which energy storage companies are working in Ireland?
Statkraft delivered the first energy storage project in Ireland with Fluence in , at its Kilathmoy wind farm and the company has continued to have a strong presence in the Irish energy storage field since then. The company is also lining up another milestone project soon, with the country’s first four-hour duration energy storage system.
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.
