Why Ireland''s 10 GW energy storage pipeline is delayed by
There is just under a gigawatt of battery storage on the grid operating today. In addition to the almost 1 GW of BESS, Ireland also has 292 MW of pumped hydro at the
Last July, Neoen Renewables Ireland Ltd, a French renewable energy company, announced a 149.6MW BESS on an 8.5ac site near Portarlington, Laois. Just last week, the ESB opened a 75MW/150MWh BESS at the Poolbeg Energy Hub in Dublin. The system is Ireland's largest so far and is part of its €300m BESS portfolio.
This project, operational since November 2023, has a capability of providing 75MW of energy for two hours to Ireland's electricity system. ESB is working with Fluence as well as Irish companies, Kirby Group and Powercomm Group, in the delivery of these projects at Poolbeg, Aghada, Inchicore, and South Wall.
The Poolbeg Battery Energy Storage System is located at our Poolbeg Energy Hub in Dublin where some of the latest technologies will support the future delivery of renewable energy including batteries, hydrogen and offshore wind will be deployed over the next decade.
ESB has officially opened a battery plant at its Poolbeg site in Dublin which will add 75MW (150MWh) of energy storage to help provide grid stability and deliver more renewables on the electricity system.
