In Ireland, demand for home battery storage systems — even without solar panels — is growing rapidly as homeowners look to reduce costs and gain energy independence.
The Kylemore Battery Energy Storage System in Dublin went into operation in 2023 and has the capability of providing 30MW of fast-acting storage. The South Wall Battery Energy Storage System went live in 2023 and has the capability of providing 30MW of fast-acting energy storage.
There is just under a gigawatt of battery storage on the grid operating today. In addition to the almost 1 GW of BESS, Ireland also has 292 MW of pumped hydro at the Turlough Hill site in County Wicklow, which has been operating since the 1970s.
Recent industry analysis reveals that lithium-ion battery storage systems now average €300-400 per kilowatt-hour installed, with projections indicating a further 40% cost reduction by 2030. For utility operators and project developers, these economics reshape the fundamental calculations of grid stabilization and peak demand management.
On average, the initial upfront cost of a battery storage system (including the installation) is around €5,000 to €15,000. Although this number can seem quite high, when you take into account the potential savings and the benefits, you’d be surprised at just how much money you will save especially when used in conjunction with solar panels.
The global commercial and industrial solar energy storage battery market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with demand increasing by over 400% in the past three years.
