6 FAQs about [Introduction to the Irish Energy Storage Battery Project]
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 many battery storage projects are there in Ireland?
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.
Is battery storage enough to meet Ireland's short-term reserve requirements?
The battery storage deployed today is enough to meet Ireland’s short-term reserve requirements, but we are going to need a lot more energy storage from a variety of technologies with different capabilities by 2030. This will be essential to manage the large volumes of renewable generation necessary to meet our climate action targets.
What is a battery energy storage system?
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. More than 700 megawatt (MW) of battery storage was active at the end of 2023 and another 500 MW has been contracted to connect over the next five years.
What is ESB's new battery energy storage system?
This specific battery energy storage system is the largest site of its kind in commercial operation in Ireland and is part of ESB’s pipeline of projects, worth up to €300m in investments, that aim to be delivered at sites in Dublin and Cork. This project has a capability of providing 75MW of energy for two hours to Ireland’s electricity system.
Does Ireland need an energy storage policy?
The Irish Government’s Climate Action Plan 2021 set out the need for an energy storage policy for Ireland to support 75% reduction in power sector CO2 emissions by 2030. There are 10 key policy actions in the framework outlining the timings and key stakeholders involved in delivering them. Key points:
