Irish electricity market and issues arising All-island electricity market, termed the iSEM N Regulator regulates licences/tariffs Generation mix of fossil fuel plant, plus wind, solar system-wide or individual 5. Could decide to face this problem at an early stage by considering their own grids, building expertise, differentiating between frequency/voltage support and system recovery AND developing Government expected to adopt With instantaneous penetration rising from 75 in 2020 to 90 in 2030 Huge challenges for System Operators for grid stability and security This clearly points to a key role for storage in the future; rapid-response storage for grid security/stability and medium-response storage for balancing supply/demand Climate Action demands a concerted drive in Europe globally for renewables EU funding agencies need to up their game on RD projects 1 THANK YOU Peter Duffy President, Irish Energy Storage Association IESA peterduffyiesa.ie
