The Irish Energy Sector is dynamically changing. Ireland is planning to generate up to 80 % of its electricity from renewable energies until 2030. In order to achieve this, energy storage and grid infrastructure will be significantly expanded in the coming years. Major investments are underway: the Irish government and Irish electricity grid operator ESB each plan to invest approximately €11bn in total.
This development creates strong opportunities for cooperation between Irish stakeholder and German technology providers. Their focus is on short-term and decentralized storage solutions such as lithium-ion batteries and pumped-storage power plants and decentralized solutions for home storage. German companies offer a range of long-term storage, hybrid systems, mobile storage and energy management software.
The delegation offers German companies a targeted entry into the Irish energy sector. The focus is on relevant market information, networking events, project visits, and individually organized and prepared B2B meetings.
