ESB has today opened its latest major battery plant at its Aghada site in Co Cork which will add 150MW (300MWh) of fast-acting energy storage to help provide grid stability and deliver more renewable power onto Ireland’s electricity system.What will ESB's new battery plant do for Ireland?Friday, 15th November 2024 Cork, Ireland ESB has today opened its latest major battery plant at its Aghada site in Co Cork which will add 150MW (300MWh) of fast-acting energy storage to help provide grid stability and deliver more renewable power onto Ireland’s electricity system.
Is ESB launching a battery energy storage system in Dublin?The battery energy storage system (BESS) is the latest in a pipeline of projects at sites in Dublin and Cork as part of a €300m technology investment by ESB. The State-owned company launched its first BESS site, a 19MW project also at Aghada in 2022, and opened a 75MW project at its Poolbeg Energy Hub in Dublin earlier this year.
Will a new battery storage plant be built in Cork?RWE’s 60WM plant recent went live in Monaghan and Iberdrola has turned on a 50MW battery storage system in Meath. While Microsoft has said it is planning to build one in Dublin at its data centre there. A new battery storage plant, designed to help ease out the supply demand imbalances caused by renewable energy, has gone online in Cork.
What will a battery plant do for Ireland?The battery plant will add storage capacity to the ESB grid, providing what's known as 'grid stability" (the capacity to instantly add power to cover drops from other sources or surges in demand) and deliver more renewable capacity to Ireland's electricity system.
