6 FAQs about [Latest on Ireland s photovoltaic energy storage policy]

What is the electricity storage policy framework for Ireland?

The Electricity Storage Policy Framework for Ireland This is a strategic initiative aimed at transforming Ireland’s energy infrastructure. As the use of renewable energy sources increases, so too does the challenge of managing the intermittent nature of these energy sources and ensuring that a stable energy infrastructure is in place.

Will Ireland be a business-friendly market for energy storage?

The publication of the Electricity Storage Policy Framework sends a clear and positive signal to potential developers and funders that Ireland intends to be a business-friendly market for energy storage, writes Seanna Mulrean, Consultant and Head of Energy and Natural Resources at LK Shields.

Does Ireland have a solar policy?

There has been a strong focus on the design and implementation of solar PV policy in Ireland in recent years as demonstrated in Section 5.1. Measures are in place (or soon will be) covering PV installations of all sizes from self-consumers to large utility-scale projects integrated into wholesale electricity markets. Are there policy gaps?

Why do we need more solar power in Ireland?

This might be when demand is high or when capacity from wind or solar is low – for instance, during a low pressure period in winter. Ireland has about 800MW of storage capacity, while the policy framework recommends procuring additional storage immediately. Ultimately, this will provide cheaper, green electricity to the consumer.

What are the future plans for electricity storage?

Two memos setting out future plans for development of electricity storage, which will allow excess renewables to be stored and used when needed, and for private wires have been approved by Cabinet. The latter will allow community energy groups, private individuals or other energy users to run their own electricity cables to transfer electricity.

Does Ireland need a solar PV system?

Ireland has witnessed an upsurge in installed solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity in recent years, which is a welcome contribution to the energy transition and decarbonisation.
