6 FAQs about Dublin Grid Energy Storage Design

What is Ireland's energy storage policy?

This is the first electricity storage policy published in Ireland. The Irish Government's Climate Action Plan 2021 set out the need for an energy storage policy for Ireland to support 75% reduction in power sector CO2 emissions by 2030.

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).

What is energy storage Ireland?

Energy Storage Ireland in 2019 recognised that solutions such as Pumped Storage Hydro (PSH), Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES), Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) and others require locations with specific geographical characteristics which are not particularly common on in Ireland.

Why are Ireland's storage assets'stuck' in planning & grid development processes?

There are significant delays in the planning permission and grid development processes in Ireland. This is significantly impacting the deliverability of projects as they get 'stuck' in processes. Currently storage assets in Ireland earn on average 80% of their revenues from the System Services market.

How much does large-scale thermal energy storage cost in Ireland?

Large-scale thermal energy storage such as that currently being deployed by district heating & cooling networks in Ireland typically have a cost that is 0.65% - 4.4% that of best-case large-scale battery storage in Ireland.

Which battery energy storage systems are available in Ireland?

The Kylemore Battery Energy Storage System in Dublin went into operation in 2023 and has the capability of providing 30MW of fast-acting storage. The South Wall Battery Energy Storage System went live in 2023 and has the capability of providing 30MW of fast-acting energy storage.
