Critical role of battery storage in Ireland''s energy plans
Ireland is going in the right direction as regards energy storage — we''re good, but we in terms of building out batteries, but we are going to need to go a lot further by 2030.

With the clock ticking toward 2030, Ireland''s energy storage roadmap will play a central role in its renewable transition. The question now is whether policymakers and grid
Ireland''s energy storage capacity could increase almost eightfold by 2035, driven by a growing pipeline of battery projects and calls for stronger policy support, according to a
This report seeks to assess the potential for Long Duration Energy Storage technologies (LDES) in Ireland, focusing on barriers and opportunities for the sector.
With a recent policy statement, Ireland is seeking to accelerate the growth and integration of battery and other storage systems into Ireland''s electricity grid.
The Department of Environment, Climate and Communications published the long-awaited Electricity Storage Policy Framework for Ireland on 4 July.
Ireland''s energy storage could increase eightfold by 2035, according to a new report by Energy Storage Ireland. It states that battery
And we cannot eliminate carbon from our electricity supply without energy storage. In 2021 energy experts Baringa estimated that to hit the 80 per cent renewable electricity targets in Ireland
The Electricity Storage Policy Framework presents 10 government actions to support the role of electricity storage systems in Ireland''s energy transition, identifying the key

Ireland’s energy storage needs was considered in terms of the energy surplus and deficits from dispatch on the transmission grid and the need to deliver 25-30% of flexible demand by 2030 which was assumed to continue post 2030.
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.
If this pipeline was built out, the report states that Ireland could capture all of that wasted energy, further reducing our reliance on fossil fuels, and driving down energy costs for consumers. "Energy storage solutions can transform our electricity system for the better," said Bobby Smith, head of Energy Storage Ireland.
Decommissioning and recycling at end of life In Ireland, the energy storage sector comprises mainly of an operational pumped hydro generation facility and c.700MW of short duration batteries providing system services, this will need to grow to c.4.5 GW by the mid 2030s.
