ESI has published recommendations for the Programme for Government highlighting the benefits of energy storage to Ireland’s energy security, electricity prices and decarbonisation targets. By supporting energy storage Ireland can enable more renewable electricity on the grid, reduce our reliance […]
What is battery energy storage and why is it important? As battery storage systems become commonplace we may start seeing more questions like this. In a first of its kind piece of research, ESI worked with Interactions Research to carry […]
The current geopolitical situation across the continent, combined with high dependency on imported natural gas, growing electricity demand, and consequently, higher bills for households and businesses, create an urgent need to rethink the structure of European energy systems. The REPowerEU […]
New report calls for dedicated Government energy storage strategy Energy storage could cut Ireland’s annual carbon emissions by more than 1 million tonnes and reduce annual electricity bills by more than €85 million according to a new report published today […]
Energy Storage Ireland, which represents Ireland and Northern Ireland’s energy storage industry, has called on the Irish and Northern Irish Governments to use zero-carbon storage options over fossil fuels to ensure a secure back-up power supply. The organisation was responding […]
Energy Storage Ireland (ESI) has just completed a survey of its members and the results show that the pipeline of battery storage projects in Ireland and Northern Ireland is very strong with 54 projects, making up just under 2.3 GW […]
The Saving Power report, published jointly by Energy Storage Ireland and the Irish Wind Energy Association, shows how a strong electricity grid and new low-carbon technologies are essential to achieving Ireland’s 70 per cent renewable electricity target by 2030. Its […]
This all-island storage roadmap provides an overview of the role energy storage can have in the safe and reliable operation of a grid with high levels of renewable energy integration and the benefits that energy storage can deliver in terms […]
A new report by energy market experts Baringa, produced for Energy Storage Ireland, shows how new zero-carbon technologies can ensure the all-island power grid remains strong and secure while cutting CO2 emissions, driving down system costs and reducing curtailment. Currently […]
