What is energy storage Ireland 2025?

At Energy Storage Ireland 2025, the message was clear: energy storage is central to a stable, low-carbon grid, and while short-duration battery systems (BESS) are available, long-duration storage (LDES) supply is in its infancy, however ESBN has a structure to enable LDES rollout in Ireland. The technology is advancing fast.

Could new energy storage solutions be the future of Ireland?

Significant research and development is ongoing across the world on the development of new energy storage solutions and they could prove an ideal solution for the all-island Irish market, improving energy sustainability and security, while also facilitating achievement of long-term decarbonisation goals.

When will long duration energy storage be available in Ireland?

The Irish Electricity Storage Policy Framework, published after this data was collected, indicates that an immediate route to market for 500 MW of long duration energy storage is currently being developed, with further studies planned to support long duration storage from 2030 to 2040 (Government Of Ireland 2024a).

Are there policy barriers to energy storage in Ireland?

This reflects the findings of (Haji Bashi et al., 2022) which indicate the existence of significant policy barriers in the development of energy storage in Ireland and research which highlights gaps in public knowledge on the topic of energy storage (Zaunbrecher et al., 2016).
