While new records for wind energy output were set and significant new policies supporting wind energy were announced, 2021 was not an auspicious year for wind energy deployment in Ireland. Despite ambitious 2030 renewable energy targets, only 9.3MW of new capacity was installed.
New figures from Wind Energy Ireland show that An Bord Pleanála approved seven wind energy projects in the first three months of 2025, with a combined capacity of 402 MW, and rejected none.
MKO is delighted to have the opportunity to undertake this important research project on behalf of Wind Energy Ireland, which aims to quantify Ireland’s future onshore wind energy potential. Onshore wind energy has been the bedrock of Ireland’s decarbonisation efforts to date and will continue for many years to come.
Visit the Irish Wind Energy Research Network webpage, and please review Ireland’s chapter in the IEA Wind TCP 2022 Annual Report. Total wind power capacity is 4,536 MW. Wind power capacity in Ireland increased by 1.97 MW in 2022. Ireland produces 11.224 TWh from wind energy, which accounts for 34.4% of the country’s electricity consumption.
Wind Energy Ireland is committed to the promotion and education of wind energy issues and plays a leading role in the areas of conference organisation, lobbying and policy development on the island of Ireland.
As part of the European Wind Charter, Ireland has also signed a voluntary ‘wind pledge’ committing to the delivery of wind energy targets for the period 2024-2026, as well as pledging indicative targets for 2030 and post-2030.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 250% in the past two years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial and industrial storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability initiatives and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 18-28%. Europe follows closely with 35% market share, where standardized industrial storage designs have cut installation timelines by 65% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 50% CAGR, with manufacturing scale reducing system prices by 20% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting industrial storage solutions for peak shaving and backup power, with typical payback periods of 2-4 years. Major commercial projects now deploy clusters of 15+ systems creating storage networks with 80+MWh capacity at costs below $270/kWh for large-scale industrial applications.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving industrial energy storage performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal operating conditions with 45% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 20+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $85/kWh to $40/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple industrial systems to operate as coordinated energy networks, increasing cost savings by 30% through peak shaving and demand charge management. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and thermal runaway prevention systems have reduced insurance premiums by 35% for industrial storage projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple system additions at just $200/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial and industrial projects typically achieving payback in 3-5 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (1-2MWh) starting at $330,000 and large-scale systems (3-6MWh) from $600,000, with volume discounts available for enterprise orders.
