The Ireland wind power market’s installed capacity was 4,529.84 MW in 2020. It is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 12% during 2021-2030. Rising levels of pollution, the fear of global warming, the scarcity of fossil fuels, and increasing levels of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions have led many countries to opt for clean renewable energy sources. Their use is not only beneficial to consumers and the environment but also provides employment opportunities, thereby driving economic growth. The global economic crisis resulted in a drop in carbon emissions in 2009, due to declining global energy demand and a strong focus on green energy. This trend did not continue for long as emissions increased again between 2010 and 2019. Global carbon dioxide emissions increased during this time as major carbon-emitting countries such as China and the US have not accepted carbon emissions reduction mandates. However, as they have taken other voluntary measures emissions are expected to be controlled in the future.

What are the market dynamics in Ireland’s wind power market?

Ireland’s renewable power market was led by onshore wind power with cumulative installed capacity of 4,274.66 MW as of 2020. The onshore wind power is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 4% by 2030. The second leading source in the renewable capacity mix of the country in the year 2020 was biopower with a cumulative installed capacity, at an estimated negative CAGR of over 1%. The solar PV power segment is expected to grow by 2030. The last source in the renewable capacity mix of Ireland was offshore wind power with a cumulative installed capacity of 25.2 MW in 2020 and is expected to reach a CAGR of over 69% by 2030.

The Renewable Energy Feed-In Tariff (REFIT) mechanism was introduced for wind and hydropower in 2006, to assist Ireland to meet its obligation to increase the consumption of renewable electricity to over 13% of the total electricity consumption by 2010 as per EU Directive 2001/77/EC. The REFIT program was developed to REFIT-I, REFIT II and REFIT-III and included all renewable power technologies. However, all the three renewable energy FiT schemes were closed by 31 December 2015 for new projects. During the period REFIT was instrumental in the rapid growth of the renewable power market in the country. To further encourage the growth of renewables, the Irish government started to draft a framework to introduce an auction system to support renewables.

What is the renewable power market of Ireland cumulative installed capacity by source (mw), 2010-2030?

Ireland’s renewable power generation mix was led by the onshore wind power market with power generation of 11,416.11 GWh as of 2020. It was followed by biopower in the year 2020 with a total power generation of around 894.65 GWh. In the renewable power generation mix in 2030 offshore wind power and solar PV are expected to grow at CAGRs of over 69% respectively to attain shares of more than 43% respectively in the total renewable power generation by 2030. The below chart and table illustrate annual generation in 2020 and growth rate of annual generation during 2020-2030 for various renewable technologies and the estimated share of each technology in total annual renewable generation in 2030.

Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
