What will ESB's new battery plant do for Ireland?
ESB, the state-owned electricity company, has announced the opening of a major battery plant at its site in Poolbeg, Dublin. The battery plant will add around 75MW of fast-acting energy storage to make the grid in Ireland more stable and increase the share of renewables in the electricity system.
What is the Dublin Energy Hub?
The Dublin Energy Hub, housing the largest battery, serves as a testbed for the future of clean energy in Ireland. It is envisioned as a hub for integrating various green technologies, including offshore wind, hydrogen, and carbon capture and storage, all working together to power a sustainable future for the Emerald Isle.
Will battery storage help Ireland generate 80% renewable electricity by 2030?
Ireland has set a target of generating 80% renewable electricity by 2030. Deployment of battery storage will be capable of responding in milliseconds to frequency changes, importing or exporting electricity from the grid as needed, and helping efficiently stabilise the grid, while guaranteeing reliable electricity supply for users.
What is ESB's new battery energy storage system?
It said the facility will add 75MW of fast-acting energy storage to help provide grid stability. This latest battery energy storage system (BESS) is part of ESB's pipeline of projects which are being delivered at sites in Dublin and Cork - representing an investment of up to €300m.
