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. There are 10 key policy actions in the framework outlining the timings and key stakeholders involved in delivering them. Key points:
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.
Ireland has committed to developing metrics of energy cost competitiveness as outlined in the Government's White Paper on Ireland's Transition to a Low Carbon Energy Future 2015-2030. We have developed average electricity and natural gas prices for business and households. These are based on the EU Electricity and Gas Price Regulation statistics.
For both commercial and household customers, electricity is the most expensive fuel, followed by oil. Understanding the factors that affect energy prices is important for Ireland. It helps businesses, householders and policymakers to respond appropriately.
Note: Due to the recent increases in energy prices, Ireland introduced measures to alleviate the burden on final consumers. Domestic electricity customers, including pay as you go customers, have received credits on their bills of €1,500 as: four payments of €200 in April 2022, November 2022, January 2023 and March 2023.
