ESI Publishes Results of 2025 Storage Pipeline Survey

Our 2025 pipeline survey shows the potential of the energy storage sector in Ireland and Northern Ireland with nearly 10 GW of storage in development!

We are pleased to release the results of our 2025 survey of the energy storage sector in Ireland. Key takeaways:

🟒 The industry is ready to deliver.

🟒 The technologies exist today or are developing rapidly with lithium-ion, CO2, and iron air batteries included in our results.

🟒 However uncertainty on the route to market is the main constraint at present.

🟒 Industry has shown in the past it can deliver, as it did under the DS3 system services framework with 1 GW of storage deployed since 2020.

🟒 We need policy to move faster on areas such as energy market access, network charging reform and LDES procurement. It is a timing issue but industry will not wait around forever.

🟒 If we want a secure, independent, clean and affordable energy system then energy storage is the key.
