The Single Electricity Market (SEM) in Ireland is set to see a battery energy storage system (BESS) boom into 2030, with short-to-medium duration capacity forecast by Cornwall Insight to increase fivefold by 2030.
We find that battery energy storage can become one of the cornerstones of the energy storage portfolio in Ireland and also one of the few options which can enable the Irish electricity sector to access the required domestic flexibility resources.
From ESS News The Single Electricity Market (SEM) on the island of Ireland is set for a battery storage boom, with short-to-medium duration capacity forecast to increase fivefold by 2030, according to Cornwall Insight.
Today, in May 2022, we have 13 projects operating with a combined capacity of 500 MW and we expect this to grow rapidly to nearly 800 MW by 2023. There are nearly 60 more battery storage projects – 2,500 MW – in development on the island and we are confident of delivering on our 2030 targets.
In 2021 energy experts Baringa estimated that to hit the 80 per cent renewable electricity targets in Ireland and Northern Ireland by 2030 we would need at least 1,700 MW of battery storage on the island of Ireland. Every battery storage project connected makes our electricity grid more secure and helps to integrate wind and solar power.
These include lithium-ion batteries, hydrogen storage, thermal storage, flow batteries and pumped hydro storage. However, thermal storage fell outside of the focus on electricity storage and the potential for additional pumped hydro storage in Ireland is considered to be fairly limited and so neither were modelled in detail.
