Energy Storage Ireland is a representative association of public and private sector organisations who are interested and active in the development of energy storage in Ireland and Northern Ireland. Delivering the energy storage technologies to enable a secure, carbon free electricity system on the island of Ireland by 2035.
Our network costs are similar to those of other Member States. The relatively high price of our electricity in Ireland is attributed to our dependence on imported fossil fuels, particularly gas, and the costs of generation and supply, although transmission and distribution costs have increased year on year with greater investment.
Regarding gas, the average price for businesses during the same period was 8.02 Euro cents per kWh. These figures are provided by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) and reflect the latest available data (Sustainable Energy Authority Of Ireland). Why Compare Energy Suppliers and Prices?
Ireland has committed to developing metrics of energy cost competitiveness as outlined in the Government's White Paper on Ireland's Transition to a Low Carbon Energy Future 2015-2030. We have developed average electricity and natural gas prices for business and households. These are based on the EU Electricity and Gas Price Regulation statistics.
As gas is the largest and the marginal fuel input to electricity generation in Ireland, the price of gas directly affects the price of electricity.
