With over 1,185 MW of installed capacity and a target of 8 GW by 2030, the potential is clear. However, scaling solar to meet these goals requires doubling the current deployment rate and addressing critical
The Electricity Storage Policy Framework presents 10 government actions to support the role of electricity storage systems in Ireland''s energy transition, identifying the key
This read explores the role of solar panels in Ireland''s clean energy goals, the progress made so far, challenges facing widespread adoption, and the broader environmental and economic implications.
Some of the key actions are discussed below. Support access to the wholesale electricity markets, arbitrage and revenue stacking for electricity storage systems.
Beyond 2030, Ireland expects offshore wind to account for the dominant share of new renewable capacity additions; however, further deployment of new and repowered onshore wind and solar is expected
The Global Cold Storage Market was valued at USD 148.94 billion in 2023 and will grow at a CAGR of 10.59% from 2024 to 2030. The market is expected to reach USD 301.32 billion by

Opportunities Ahead: How technological advancements, economic benefits, and EU regulations can drive solar adoption. Vision for 2030: A future where solar powers over 20% of Ireland’s electricity, contributes to net-zero targets, and supports a resilient energy system.
As we look to 2030, it’s clear that solar energy will play a central role in Ireland’s energy transition. ISEA remains committed to advocating for policies, fostering innovation, and driving collaboration to unlock solar’s full potential.
Grid-scale deployment represented more than 65% of total spending. Battery energy storage investment is expected to exceed USD 35 billion in 2023. This is driven by the push for renewables investment and growing presence of hybrid renewable energy projects co-located with energy storage.
As of 2024, Ireland has 125MW of operational auto-production solar projects, marking a notable increase from 95MW in 2023. This demonstrates substantial growth and adoption of this efficient and sustainable energy solution. Key Benefits include: Energy Independence and Cost Savings: These systems
1.4 – Ireland’s installed solar-PV capacity to the end of 2023 in GW and its CAP target for 2030. Ireland’s total installed solar-PV capacity (AC) at the end of 2023 was 0.72 GW, after adding 0.53 GW of capacity during 2023. Ireland has set itself a target of 8GW of installed solar-PV capacity by the end of 2030.
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.
