Grid resilience refers to the ability of the power system to withstand, adapt to, and recover quickly from unexpected disruptions — whether those disruptions are technical faults, cyberattacks, or extreme weather events. For Ireland, grid resilience is not just a technical challenge, but a cornerstone of economic security, energy independence, and climate responsibility.

Ireland had a “record” year for renewables in 2022 according to ESB Networks. In the 12 months to December, 688 MW of additional renewable projects were energised. Solar energy is just beginning it’s run, and has to deploy more than thirty-years worth of wind energy projects in the next five to seven years.
