Statkraft delivered the first energy storage project in Ireland with Fluence in 2020, 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.
Ireland’s energy storage needs was considered in terms of the energy surplus and deficits from dispatch on the transmission grid and the need to deliver 25-30% of flexible demand by 2030 which was assumed to continue post 2030.
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.
Ireland’s current installed solar capacity is just under 2 GW, but this could be increased thanks to favorable policy, grid investments, and energy storage. PCRE, which operates this solar farm in County Wexford, Ireland, supplies power through agreements with Microsoft and Google. Image: PCRE
InfoLink expects China to add 39 GWh of energy storage capacity in 2023. The U.S. added 8.2 GWh of installed energy storage capacity in the first half of 2023, far behind anticipations. Constructions under the IRA face delays worse than expected.
As illustrated by the scenario modelling, Ireland’s energy storage needs will be influenced by longer-term developments in the composition of the energy mix, zero emission generation capacity, the balance of electricity supply and flexible demand enabled though the deployment of energy storage, and the operation of interconnection capacity.
The global commercial and industrial solar energy storage battery market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with demand increasing by over 400% in the past three years.
