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.
The Electricity Storage Policy Framework 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. These actions are: Maintain a technology neutral approach to all electricity storage systems.
The policy framework included 10 Government actions to support the role of electricity storage systems in Ireland's energy transition. Actions #6 to #10 of the policy framework are designed to stimulate the development of the optimum level of electricity storage systems, including Long Duration Electricity Storage on to the grid network by 2040.
La Monaca, S., & Ryan, L. (2017) showed that while earlier research indicated that it was not feasible in Ireland, falling costs can render solar PV financially viable even at the household level. This is further elaborated in Section 4.3 of this report using an agent-based model (ABM).
The policy is a practical initiative in Ireland's energy strategy and is designed to advance the integration of ESS into the grid network. By addressing key areas such as market access, technical standards, and funding mechanisms, the Policy aims to provide a realistic framework for achieving Ireland's renewable energy targets.
