How many MW of battery storage capacity are there in Ireland?We currently have more than 300MWs of battery storage capacity in operation in Ireland, making it one of the largest battery portfolios in Europe. We plan to develop a pipeline of large scale battery projects, as well as additional renewable enabling technologies.
Which battery energy storage systems are available in Ireland?The Kylemore Battery Energy Storage System in Dublin went into operation in 2023 and has the capability of providing 30MW of fast-acting storage. The South Wall Battery Energy Storage System went live in 2023 and has the capability of providing 30MW of fast-acting energy storage.
Are battery energy storage systems a 'great achievement' in Ireland?ESB Networks described the project as a “great achievement for battery storage” in Ireland. Battery energy storage systems, often referred to as Bess, are regarded as a vital part of the Ireland’s fledgling renewable energy sector and demand for them has never been higher.
How much electricity does ESB have in Ireland?Today, ESB Networks has announced that it has 1,000 MW (one Giga Watt) of electricity storage connected to Ireland’s network. This figure includes 731.5 MW of battery storage projects and 292 MW from Turlough Hill pumped storage power station – which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.
How does electricity storage work in Ireland?For context, peak demand on Ireland’s electricity system is approximately 5.5 GW. Electricity storage systems such as utility-scale battery projects also provide essential backup services to the grid that help to keep the electricity supply secure, reduces carbon emissions and ultimately reduces costs to the consumer.
Why is RWE renewables launching a battery storage business in Ireland?Ireland already relies heavily on renewables, and targeted funding is available for battery storage systems. The country is therefore the ideal basis for RWE Renewables to further expand its battery storage technology business and drive the energy transition.
