The Irish Energy Storage Association (IESA) was established to promote the benefits of energy storage in Ireland. With the development of the DS3 programme, there is an increasing emphasis on energy storage in Ireland. Discussions between individuals and companies involved in the Irish energy storage sector resulted in the founding of IESA.
IESA represents the interests of the energy storage sector on the island of Ireland, by influencing policy decisions and implementation details through engagement with CRU, UR, SEM Committee, EirGrid, ESBN, Government Departments, EU and European energy bodies (for example in developing the Network Code).
IESA shares knowledge and experience with energy storage players worldwide, so that companies here can learn from significant energy storage developments around the globe. In addition, other countries can provide energy storage business and investment opportunities as well as learning from Ireland’s experience, particularly in relation to accommodating large scale intermittent generation on their systems.
