Manage episode 463574753 series 2914030
As Ireland and Northern Ireland transition to net zero and the volume of variable renewable generation in the electricity generation mix increases, there is a need for more flexibility provision. There is >1GW of operational energy storage on the Island, however the majority of this has been short duration batteries participating in system services. There are a number of market reforms underway that will change the landscape for energy storage projects including incentive mechanisms for longer duration storage assets.
