4 FAQs about Ireland Tanjun Wind and Solar Energy Storage Power Station

When will long duration energy storage be available in Ireland?

The Irish Electricity Storage Policy Framework, published after this data was collected, indicates that an immediate route to market for 500 MW of long duration energy storage is currently being developed, with further studies planned to support long duration storage from 2030 to 2040 (Government Of Ireland 2024a).

How will long-term storage technology impact Ireland's power system decarbonisation?

New and emerging long duration storage technologies will play a critical role in delivering an affordable, fully decarbonised power system to the people of Ireland. #1 We have a problem: The amount of wasted renewable energy in Ireland is projected to increase exponentially as we attempt to deliver on our power system decarbonisation targets.

Which energy solutions are best for the Irish power system?

FuturEnergy Ireland has assessed a range of these solutions in the context of the Irish power system. To date we have identified Form Energy’s Iron-Air technology as the one with the greatest potential to cost-effectively tackle these problems in the Irish market. Form’s iron-air system is:

Why do we need wind & solar energy in Ireland?

Wind and solar energy play a key role in Ireland’s transition from fossil-fuel-based electricity generation. But these precious resources will need to be stored for times when the wind doesn’t blow, or the sun doesn’t shine, says the ESB’s Clare Duffy
