We currently have more than 300MWs of battery storage capacity in operation in Ireland, making it one of the largest battery portfolios in Europe. We plan to develop a pipeline of large scale battery projects, as well as additional renewable enabling technologies.
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.
Interconnectors are also approved as capacity market units and could participate in the capacity market. Based on current market instructions in Ireland, a battery energy storage should not only compete with conventional generations units, but also interconnectors are functioning as serious rivals, especially in the capacity market.
One of the main drivers of the need for grid-scale battery storage systems in Ireland is the increasing penetration of renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar, in the grid. These sources of energy are variable and intermittent, which can create challenges for grid operators in maintaining a stable and reliable electricity supply.
A pipeline of over 2.5GW of grid-scale battery projects has now emerged in Ireland, with capacity projections increasing by 25 per cent in recent years.
