Australian Energy Minister Chris Bowen has announced a major expansion of the Commonwealth-funded Capacity Investment Scheme that will now target 32 GW of
La Monaca, S., & Ryan, L. (2017) showed that while earlier research indicated that it was not feasible in Ireland, falling costs can render solar PV financially viable even at the household level. This is further elaborated in Section 4.3 of this report using an agent-based model (ABM).
The Electricity Storage Policy Framework for Ireland This is a strategic initiative aimed at transforming Ireland’s energy infrastructure. As the use of renewable energy sources increases, so too does the challenge of managing the intermittent nature of these energy sources and ensuring that a stable energy infrastructure is in place.
The rooftop solar resource within the EU is "vast and underutilised" according to the European Commission (EU Solar Energy Strategy, 2022). In Ireland, the technical potential of residential rooftop solar PV has been estimated at ≈13 GWp (Bódis et al. 2019, Joshi & Deane 2022), compared to the current peak power system demand of ≈5-6 GW.
If 50% of this housing stock or 70k houses (CSO, 2023) had PV systems installed by 2030, it is estimated that this could add another ≈0.3 GW of additional rooftop solar PV capacity. Some further capacity could be available from local authority or voluntary body owned apartment buildings. 5. Solar PV for parking spaces and depots
The publication of the Electricity Storage Policy Framework sends a clear and positive signal to potential developers and funders that Ireland intends to be a business-friendly market for energy storage, writes Seanna Mulrean, Consultant and Head of Energy and Natural Resources at LK Shields.
Just over half (371 MWp) of the installed solar capacity in Ireland in June 2023 is utility-scale (> 1 MWp) (ISEA, 2023). Two-thirds of the sub-utility scale capacity (208 1 Sub-utility scale or “distributed” solar PV installations are less than 1 MW capacity and usually have a significant element of self-consumption.
