Join us in Croke Park, Dublin on 21 September for the Energy Storage Ireland Annual Conference 2023! The energy storage industry in Ireland has gone from strength to strength with nearly 700MW of battery storage now operational on the island and a further 4GW in the development pipeline. However, with uncertainties around access to the grid and future revenue streams we must focus on delivering the policies and market frameworks that will support the energy storage investments needed for Ireland’s clean energy transition. The ESI Conference 2023 will focus on topics such as accelerating deployment of energy storage, the investment landscape in Ireland and the outlook for new long-duration storage technologies.

Ireland’s offshore wind energy revolution starts this year. The results of our historic first offshore wind auction will be known just days before our conference in May and we expect projects to enter the planning system before the end of the year. The new Government policy for future development has caused disruption, but we will build certainty and work together to overcome any challenges. Two decades after we built Arklow Bank Ireland is finally ready to take her place among those countries leading the response to the global climate and energy crises. We have strong projects, a robust pipeline and teams of people determined to succeed. We’re ready to get to work.
