Game Changer – How Energy Storage is the key to a Secure, Sustainable, Clean Energy Future in Ireland. May 2022. Baringa Partners show that energy storage is a game changer for Ireland and Northern Ireland''s renewable energy ambitions in terms of its ability to manage renewable oversupply, reduce CO2 emissions, provide low carbon capacity and reduce costs to consumers.
Our latest report in collaboration with KPMG and Green Tech Skillnet explores the investment and employment potential for the energy storage sector in Ireland. It identifies key supply-side skills development needs such as research, training and development and quantifies the volumes of energy storage that will be needed by 2035
Construction has started on a project in Ireland pairing a battery energy storage system (BESS) with a synchronous condenser, developed by Lumcloon Energy and Hanwha Energy. Prime minister (Taoiseach) Michael Martin marked the start of construction yesterday (6 September) at the project, called Shannonbridge B, in central Ireland.

The Irish Energy Storage Association (IESA) was established in 2017 to represent and advocate for the energy storage sector in Ireland. Our mission is to advance energy storage solutions across a wide range of applications, including the
Despite the fact that energy storage is regarded as relatively new in Ireland, the 2020 goal of 40 per cent renewable electricity and energy storage project developers have been successful in winning contracts in EirGrid''s DS3 market.
"Energy storage like this major battery plant at the ESB''s flagship site in Poolbeg will be a core part of Ireland''s new renewable energy transition," Eamon Ryan said. Eamon Ryan (centre) cuts the ribbon to inaugurate the 75MW/150MWh Poolbeg BESS, flanked by ESB''s Jim Dollard (left) and Fluence''s SVP and EMEA president Paul McCusker.
The Department of Environment, Climate and Communications published the long-awaited Electricity Storage Policy Framework for Ireland on 4 July. This is the first national policy for energy storage in Ireland and as called out by Eamon Ryan, Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications - "it is vital that Ireland
When complete, the battery energy storage system will be one of the largest in Europe. It will be operational by the end of 2026. Duncan Clark, Head of Ørsted UK & Ireland, said: "Our 12 existing UK offshore wind farms are providing a huge amount of clean energy to the grid. The battery will help ensure that renewable energy is used in the
The Electricity Storage Policy Framework 2024, prepared by the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications (DECC), provides a roadmap for integrating electricity storage systems (ESS) into Ireland''s energy future.
Energy Storage Ireland (ESI) is a representative body for those interested and active in the development of energy storage in Ireland and Northern Ireland. We work together to promote the benefits of energy storage to decarbonising Ireland''s energy system and engage with policy makers to support and facilitate the development of energy
Irish state-owned utility ESB on Friday inaugurated a 150-MW/300-MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) at its Aghada site in County Cork as part of its EUR-300-million (USD 317m) investment in battery projects at sites in Dublin and Cork. This is the latest of ESB''s ''Invested in Ireland'' projects, with over EUR 300 million recently
Vestas will deliver some of its most powerful turbines to a 126MW project in Ireland that the OEM said will be the nation''s largest single wind farm so far once built in 2024. The Danish group will supply 21 V150-6.0 MW
The Irish Energy Storage Association (IESA) was established in 2017 to represent and advocate for the energy storage sector in Ireland. Our mission is to advance energy storage solutions across a wide range of applications, including the provision of system services, exploitation of arbitrage opportunities, and maximization of renewable energy benefits on the island of Ireland.
This is the first order of Vestas'' V162-6.2 MW in Ireland featuring the largest rotor diameter of any wind turbine on the island. The order includes supply, installation, and commissioning of the turbines, as well as a
Long-Duration Energy Storage. To achieve a decarbonised energy sector a cost-effective means for the long-term storage of large volumes of renewable energy will be required. Technologies such as pumped hydro, compressed air energy storage, liquid air energy storage and new battery chemistries already offer potential options.
Reaching and maintaining a net zero society may require market reform to incentivise the build-out of long-duration electricity storage. A major academic study analysing the role of long-duration electricity storage in Great Britain reaching net zero could provide lessons for Northern Ireland in long-term planning for electricity grid stability.
In a bid to incentivise the creation of energy storage in Ireland, the government is developing a policy framework to help deliver their objectives in this area of its Climate Action Plan which is targeting a proportion of renewable
As participants discussed at the event on 2 July 2020, efforts to extend the life of Ireland''s only pumped storage station led to the development of a world first – a physics-based digital twin of a pumped storage plant. Turlough Hill power station was built by Irish state-owned utility, the Electricity Supply Board (ESB), in 1968.
Published in March 2020, the study on energy storage estimates that 97GW will be necessary for Europe for 2030, including large development of stationary batteries. The report found that pumped hydro storage is currently the main energy storage in Europe but that new battery projects are rising as prices "plummet".
This is the first national policy for energy storage in Ireland and as called out by Eamon Ryan, Minister for the [] Read more. ESI attends Oireachtas Joint Committee on Environment and Climate. 25th June 2024 11th
