How can we unlock the full potential of microgrids in Ireland?

Unlocking the full potential of microgrids in Ireland will require a more agile regulatory and planning environment. Streamlining approval processes and incentivising demand-side solutions are critical steps toward building a more resilient energy system.

Are microgrids the future of energy in Ireland?

As Ireland navigates the complexities of a rapidly evolving energy landscape, microgrids offer more than just a technological solution; they represent a strategic shift toward greater energy autonomy, resilience, and innovation.

What is a microgrid & why do we need one?

Enter microgrids: Self-contained, local energy networks that can operate independently from the traditional grid. For businesses and communities alike, they offer greater energy security, lower costs, and a more resilient path.

Are microgrids the key to a net-zero energy system?

Microgrids are not just a cost-saving solution; they’re becoming an essential tool in Ireland’s energy transition and economic growth. EirGrid has warned that growing grid congestion and delays in new connections could significantly hinder progress toward a net-zero energy system.
