Recent findings from a report commissioned by the Commission for the Regulation of Utilities (CRU) highlight growing concerns over Ireland’s electricity supply constraints. Conducted by energy
consultancy TNEI Group, the report reveals that increasing demand and a shortage of power
generation capacity are causing delays in critical grid upgrades.
The issue stems from difficulties in scheduling planned outages needed for maintenance and
infrastructure improvements. In 2023 alone, 34 out of 65 national grid projects faced delays due to
supply concerns. With Ireland’s electricity network already under pressure, businesses are at greater
risk of unexpected disruptions, making reliable backup power solutions more essential than ever.

The growing demand for backup solutions
The recent surge in power supply issues, including high-profile incidents at airports and grid
constraints affecting data centres, has underlined the urgent need for reliable power management.
The challenges brought on by extreme weather events, such as Storm Eowyn, have only emphasised
how unpredictable disruptions can severely impact business operations. As Ireland continues
transitioning towards renewable energy, businesses must ensure they are prepared for fluctuations
and supply challenges.
