IESA advocates the use of energy storage (batteries, flywheels, supercapacitors, hydroelectric, compressed air and thermal storage) for the provision of system services, arbitrage and maximisation of the benefits of Renewables on the island of Ireland. .

Energy Storage Ireland called for more ambition and a longer contract length to reflect international standards.
