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. There are 10 key policy actions in the framework outlining the timings and key stakeholders involved in delivering them. Key points:
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.
By contributing to security of supply, helping to support renewable capacity, and displacing fossil fuels in the balancing market, energy storage can deliver a net saving to end consumers in Ireland of up to €85m per year.
In this regard, greater emphasis is placed on ensuring ‘long duration’ electricity storage systems – systems that have the capacity to deliver electricity throughout at least a four-hour period – are integrated into Ireland’s electricity grid.
The framework addresses the grids immediate and near-term needs by supporting the incorporation of electricity storage from the immediate up until 2040 and presents 10 government actions to support the role of electricity storage systems in Ireland’s energy transition, identifying the key stakeholders and timelines for these actions.
Ireland – A Game Changer for Long Duration Energy Storage? 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.
