Learning from the Past: Security of Supply and the CRM

In this podcast we introduce the Battery Energy Storage Solutions (BESS) market in Ireland and Northern Ireland & discuss the key challenges facing it & how wider reforms of the Irish energy market might impact BESS assets

To facilitate an ever-growing supply of intermittent renewable energy generation, there is a need for the Single Electricity Market (SEM) for Ireland and Northern Ireland to have robust System Services

In our latest blog we present an overview of this Framework and discuss what it means for electricity storage in Ireland going forward.

Ireland has renewable electricity targets for 2030 set out in the Climate Action Plans since 2021 of 9GW of onshore wind, 5GW of offshore wind and 8GW of solar.

As Ireland works towards achieving net zero by 2050, there is a pressing need to develop additional renewable energy capacity. Offshore wind is likely to be a particularly important sector and, thanks to Ireland’s large offshore exclusive economic zone, presents a valuable opportunity for the Irish economy. Cognisant of this opportunity, the Irish Government is targeting the deployment of 5GW offshore wind capacity by 2030. 

This report provides an annual overview of trends for the All-Ireland Power Market out to 2030 using outputs from Cornwall Insight’s latest forward curve for the All-Island (AI) Single Electricity Market (SEM) covering Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

With climate change high on the agenda, many countries are looking at decarbonising their electricity generation and incorporating more renewable generation into their electricity systems. This research snapshot focuses on energy market design in Great Britain (GB), Ireland and Australia, considering what is being done to adapt to the changing generation mix.

Ireland has an ambitious vision to reach net zero by 2050, and decarbonising residential heating is a significant challenge. This report examines the potential for hydrogen-based heating solutions in decarbonising residential heating in Ireland.On comparing the various options of using hydrogen for domestic heating in Ireland, hydrogen blending in the gas network is likely the \[…\]
