Why are Ireland's storage assets'stuck' in planning & grid development processes?
There are significant delays in the planning permission and grid development processes in Ireland. This is significantly impacting the deliverability of projects as they get ‘stuck’ in processes. Currently storage assets in Ireland earn on average 80% of their revenues from the System Services market.

What is the energy storage sector like in Ireland?
Decommissioning and recycling at end of life In Ireland, the energy storage sector comprises mainly of an operational pumped hydro generation facility and c.700MW of short duration batteries providing system services, this will need to grow to c.4.5 GW by the mid 2030s.
What is Ireland's energy storage strategy?
As part of the energy storage strategy, identify Ireland’s competitive advanced capabilities such as our renewable and digital technologies sector and how these can be leveraged to create additional adjacent job opportunities. Promote public and private sector participation in EU and international research and skills development programmes.
Which energy storage companies are working in Ireland?
Statkraft delivered the first energy storage project in Ireland with Fluence in , at its Kilathmoy wind farm and the company has continued to have a strong presence in the Irish energy storage field since then. The company is also lining up another milestone project soon, with the country’s first four-hour duration energy storage system.
