Technical FAQs 4

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.

What's going on with energy storage in Ireland?

An artist's impression of the planned Ballynahone Energy Storage plant in Donegal. The proposed concept will be the first battery storage project of its kind in Europe. Bobby Smith, head of Energy Storage Ireland, highlights a critical need for clear policy and infrastructure development to ensure Ireland meets its renewable energy goals.

Why do we need more solar power in Ireland?

This might be when demand is high or when capacity from wind or solar is low – for instance, during a low pressure period in winter. Ireland has about 800MW of storage capacity, while the policy framework recommends procuring additional storage immediately. Ultimately, this will provide cheaper, green electricity to the consumer.

What is Ireland doing about battery & storage?

With a recent policy statement, Ireland is seeking to accelerate the growth and integration of battery and other storage systems into Ireland’s electricity grid.
