In Ireland, demand for home battery storage systems — even without solar panels — is growing rapidly as homeowners look to reduce costs and gain energy independence.
A typical 3-bedroom Irish home uses roughly 4,200kW of electricity every single year. If all of the electricity used could be charged on the off-peak tariff you could see an annual saving of €635.88. Over ten years, you’d have paid off your battery storage system and also potentially saved €1,358.80.
The policy framework is a first of kind policy, which clarifies the key role of electricity storage in Ireland’s transition to an electricity-led system, supporting Irelands 2030 climate targets, it may be considered as a steppingstone on Ireland’s path to net zero carbon emissions.
End-user energy demand in Ireland increased by 1.11 TWh in 2023, up 0.8% on 2022 levels. 140.8 TWh of energy was directly consumed by Irish end-users in 2023. 55.6% of all energy consumed in Ireland was oil products, mainly diesel, petrol, and heating oils. Electricity accounted for 22.4% of energy consumption in 2023.
This means that total solar generation in 2024 may reach 1 TWh, with approximately three-quarters of that coming from utility-scale solar farms. Although not yet certain, it is likely that Ireland will generate more electricity from solar PV than from coal in 2024 for the first time.
The efficiency of Ireland’s electricity supply has generally improved over the last two decades, due to introducing higher efficiency natural gas plants, the closure of or reduction in utilisation of older oil-, coal-, and peat-fired stations, as well as increased direct generation from renewable sources (wind, solar PV and hydro) and net imports.
