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 Irish energy storage sector 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 promotes energy storage across a broad range of technologies and applications including flywheels, pumped hydro, compressed air, thermal and green hydrogen storage.
