Energy Storage Ireland urges stronger commitments to long duration storage
Ireland energy sector updates: Rosslare Offshore Hub €220m, Celtic Interconnector progress, Dublin micro-tunnel grid upgrade, ILOS Energy 437MW solar expansion, Energy Storage Ireland urges 500MW by 2030.
Energy Resolve
Business energy is entering a decisive phase as countries and companies reassess how they produce, store and sustain power. This edition examines shifts in ambition, investment and technological leadership that reflect a sector navigating both complexity and opportunity. The debate surrounding Ireland’s long-duration storage future gains prominence as the 'energy storage sector calls for greater ambition in response to EirGrid’s reduced LDES proposal'. The discussion signals how storage capacity will influence grid resilience and highlights the importance of aligning national planning with long-term stability. Additionally, international dynamics also come into focus as the 'UAE’s 1B dollar pledge reshapes Yemen’s route to energy recovery.' The commitment strengthens essential infrastructure and demonstrates how targeted funding can restore confidence in systems weakened by conflict, while encouraging broader regional cooperation. Meanwhile, the recognition of 'Johnson and Johnson as the winner of Innovation in Decarbonisation - Large at the Business Energy Achievement Awards 2025' earlier this year illustrates how industry leaders are developing practical pathways to lower emissions. Moving into 2026, their achievement inspires others to adopt sustainable practices and reduce emissions. These stories collectively reveal a sector defined by policy recalibration, international investment and sustained corporate initiative.

Plans for a major offshore wind project near Wexford advance, supporting Ireland’s 5GW by 2030 goal, with construction targeted for 2027–2029 and significant economic benefits for the southeast region.
Ireland’s Energy Storage Sector Calls for Greater Ambition as EirGrid Proposes Reduced LDES Procurement
Ireland’s energy storage sector urges EirGrid to increase its proposed 201 MW long-duration storage procurement to meet the 500 MW 2030 target, citing contract length, efficiency requirements, and market integration progress.
Energy Progress
The business energy sector is entering a phase of accelerated transformation, shaped by sustainability initiatives, operational excellence, and evolving market dynamics. This edition reflects that momentum, showcasing stories that demonstrate how leading organisations are redefining energy management and contributing to a cleaner, more resilient future. First, ‘Bulmer’s Ireland wins Best Energy Achievement in Food & Beverage’ earlier this year illustrates how operational efficiency and innovative energy strategies are driving measurable performance and sector leadership. Meanwhile, sustainable energy adoption is gaining pace. ‘Alexion to power Irish sites entirely with biomethane by 2026’ demonstrates the commitment to renewable energy and the integration of clean alternatives to reduce carbon footprint across operations. At a global scale, policy and market strategy remain critical. ‘Algeria and IEF discuss energy security and transition amid market fluctuations’ shows how international collaboration and strategic dialogue are shaping energy security and transition pathways in volatile markets. Collectively, these stories reveal a sector advancing through innovation, sustainability, and strategic foresight. Readers are invited to explore these developments further, gaining insight into the forces shaping energy’s future.
