Energy Storage Ireland

We're looking forward to Energy Technology Live and the Energy Storage Show on 12 and 13 March! Energy Technology Live is an end-to-end showcase of renewable and clean energy technologies. Come see us at stand 1334!

We are looking forward to the Energy Storage Summit 2025 next month! 2025 is set to be a pivotal year for the global energy transition, as we reach the halfway point in a significant decade for the planet on its path to net zero. The Summit will highlight the fundamental role that energy storage will play in this journey, and will strive to recognise, explore and analyse key challenges that may present themselves on the trajectory ahead. The Summit will be a major networking event, bringing together over 2,000 stakeholders from across the energy storage value chain. This 10th anniversary event takes place February 17-19, 2025, at the Intercontinental London – The O2. As a partner of the event, the ESI network can access a 20% discount by using the code ESI20 when booking.

We recently held our Q4 policy forum in Dublin, This was an ESI members only event discussing important items such as our new report on "Alternative Network Charges for Energy storage" published alongside Economic Consulting Associates (ECA), the ESBN demand flexibility product consultation and also Flexible connections and how this avenue can be useful for storage assets. There was some great discussions had on the day!

We are delighted to publish our latest analysis with Economic Consulting Associates (ECA) on alternative network charges for energy storage. Network charges present a significant barrier to investment in energy storage, particularly in the Republic of Ireland where storage is treated as final demand and is subject to significant import charges. This means the charges fail to reflect the value that energy storage offers for relieving pressure on networks by charging and discharging in a manner that eases, rather than amplifies, network congestion. This analysis shows that implementing more cost reflective charges on storage assets will increase their utilisation by around 30% and yield consumer benefit in excess of €50 million per annum. The alternative charges also yield much stronger financial results for storage operators, significantly improving the investment case for a range of storage durations. It is time to rethink how network charges are imposed on energy storage and the recommendations in this report provide a blueprint on how changes to current policy can better unlock the value of storage and benefit consumers.

We are delighted to be supporting Energy Technology Live 2025! The Energy Storage Show will feature battery and energy storage systems for large-scale applications ranging from utility scale systems through to onsite and domestic technologies. Along with the full systems, the show will feature the components, services and technology to develop, install, operate and maintain them.
