ESB opens Ireland''s largest battery storage facility
The system is Ireland''s largest of its kind to date and went operational in November 2023 ahead of last week''s official opening and photo opportunity with
More currently, according to our colleagues at Solar Media Market Research, which produces the Republic of Ireland Battery Storage Project Database Report, there are now 545MW and 609MWh of utility-scale BESS projects already operational in the Republic of Ireland.
By combining two innovative energy solutions via one connection, Siemens Energy will deliver a flexible system to help stabilize Ireland's grid. Ireland aims to reach net-zero by 2050 and to reduce emissions by 51% by the end of the decade, so is significantly increasing use of renewable energy.
This integrated approach will also deliver security of supply by reducing Ireland's dependence on fossil fuels from more volatile parts of the world and allow us to develop “home-grown” energy from our own natural resources.
Wind and solar energy play a key role in Ireland's transition from fossil-fuel-based electricity generation. But these precious resources will need to be stored for times when the wind doesn't blow, or the sun doesn't shine, says the ESB's Clare Duffy
