Ireland has committed to developing metrics of energy cost competitiveness as outlined in the Government's White Paper on Ireland's Transition to a Low Carbon Energy Future 2015-2030.

When the demand for electricity is high, the stored energy from a battery energy storage system can be released into the grid to help meet the demand. This can contribute towards reducing Ireland’s reliance on fossil fuels and improving the stability of the power grid.
This will also allow for first estimates of renewable energy share (RES) results for electricity, transport, and heating. This SEAI report speaks specifically to energy supply and the security of that energy supply. A fuller assessment of Ireland’s energy security requires additional insights and considerations beyond those in this report, such as:
Ireland’s net import of electricity across interconnectors increased from 0.3 TWh in 2022 to 3.3 TWh in 2023 – a 12-fold increase – setting an annual record the use of imported electricity. Ireland’s net import of electricity is given by the sum of positive-flow imports and negative-flow exports.
The Single Electricity Market (SEM) in Ireland is set to see a battery energy storage system (BESS) boom into 2030, with short-to-medium duration capacity forecast by Cornwall Insight to increase fivefold by 2030.
