Progress on Smart Metering

Customer Behaviour Trials:

• 6,500 Smart Meters installed in 09;

• 1,200 In-Home Displays

Technology Pilot phase 1:

• 6,000 installed in 09, including the various

communication technologies viz. GPRS, PLC, DLC &

RF.

Irish Government Targets for 2020

10% of all Vehicles will be electric

• Battery or PHEV

• 230k vehicles

10% of all road transport energy will be Renewable

“We will work with the ESB and

international motor companies

to see a deployment of some

6,000 electric vehicles over the

next three years.”

Renewed Programme For

Government 10th Oct 2009



Three-party Agreement on Electric Vehicles

•Government to provide financial incentive – €9k per car

•Renault-Nissan to allocate substantial number of EVs to Irish market in 2011, subject

to demand

–Large part of overall aim of 2,000 cars

•ESB to provide an appropriate charging infrastructure

–1,500 public accessible points, 2,000 at-home charge points, pilot fast charge

•Agreements with other car manufacturers are pending; e.g. Mitsubishi, PSA

Peugeot, Citroen

•Intention is open-access design for all car manufacturers, electricity suppliers

and battery charging Nissan Leaf



Ireland as a Testbed: Key Advantages

Co-ordination of all key players

High levels of wind generation

Integrated electricity infrastructure (single owner)

Limited range between major urban centres

Ideal temperature – not too hot or cold for battery

High levels of home ownership (~80%)

Ireland is a leader in the IT sector

Opportunity of national EV infrastructure coverage as opposed to cluster, similar scale



Tackling heating / Cooling Emissions

Priority

• Building standards

• Improve performance of existing buildings

For the future

• Improved appliances / control systems / BMS etc.

• Electric heating option; especially heat pumps

(C.O.P. > 3)

Decarbonising Electricity

020501990

As electricity is

decarbonised, it

becomes the

minimum-carbon

solution for

transport and

heating



By 2050 we

will all be

driving electric

cars and

heating our

homes with

electric heat

pumps - This

needs to be

understood by

policy makers
