Ireland''s energy storage capacity could increase almost eightfold by 2035, driven by a growing pipeline of battery projects and calls for stronger policy support, according to a new report released by industry group
ESB has today opened its latest major battery plant at its Aghada site in Co Cork which will add 150MW (300MWh) of fast-acting energy storage to help provide grid
According to Energy Storage Ireland, 14% of all wind energy generated in Ireland last year was wasted due to lack of storage. Ireland's energy storage could increase eightfold by 2035, according to a new report by Energy Storage Ireland.
If this pipeline was built out, the report states that Ireland could capture all of that wasted energy, further reducing our reliance on fossil fuels, and driving down energy costs for consumers. "Energy storage solutions can transform our electricity system for the better," said Bobby Smith, head of Energy Storage Ireland.
Appropriate and timely regulatory and market design is therefore essential to allow the deployment of energy storage in Ireland at the scale required to achieve current environmental policy objectives. However, the current policy framework is unsuitable to deliver the volumes and types of energy storage we will require.
“A lot of energy storage has crept under the radar so far in Ireland,” he told ESS News. Developers secure planning quite easily but the route to market is a challenge. Energy storage has the opposite problem to the wind industry where planning is an obstacle but the route to market is there.
A robust policy, regulatory and commercial framework is needed to allow the deployment of energy storage in Ireland at the scale required to achieve current renewable policy objectives and our long-term decarbonisation ambitions. However, the current policy framework is unsuitable to deliver the volumes and types of energy storage we will require.
By supporting energy storage Ireland can enable more renewable electricity on the grid, reduce our reliance on imported fossil fuels and our exposure to volatile gas commodity prices while significantly lowering our carbon emissions. November 2024
