Irish Energy Industry Calls for 500 Mw of Storage Capacity by 2030
Industry leaders argue that quadrupling the starting point is essential to meeting the Irish government''s stated 500 MW target and avoiding costly bottlenecks in renewable
1. Introduction Energy Storage Ireland (ESI) is a representative association of over 70 public and private sector organisations who are interested and active in the development of energy storage in Ireland and Northern Ireland.
Statkraft delivered the first energy storage project in Ireland with Fluence in 2020, at its Kilathmoy wind farm and the company has continued to have a strong presence in the Irish energy storage field since then. The company is also lining up another milestone project soon, with the country's first four-hour duration energy storage system.
While the energy storage pipeline in Ireland remains strong, it is unlikely to see a similar growth in built capacities until a few years from now. The potential cut-backs in DS3 tariffs may also pose risk in the development of this market.
LPG tanks are filled by tankers and are similar to oil tanks, but cleaner, more environmentally friendly and easier to fill. LPG storage tanks are also virtually impossible to steal from, unlike oil tanks. Unfortunately, theft of home heating oil from tanks is a common occurrence in Ireland.
