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.
What is the electricity storage policy framework for Ireland?
The Electricity Storage Policy Framework for Ireland This is a strategic initiative aimed at transforming Ireland’s energy infrastructure. As the use of renewable energy sources increases, so too does the challenge of managing the intermittent nature of these energy sources and ensuring that a stable energy infrastructure is in place.
Where is Ireland's first grid-scale battery energy storage system based?
Statkraft has announced that it is to build Ireland’s first four-hour grid-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) in Co. Offaly. The 20MW BESS, supplied by global market leader in utility-scale energy storage solutions and services, Fluence, will be co-located with Statkraft’s 55.8MW Cushaling Wind Farm.
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?
Issued: 7am on Thursday, 25th April 2024 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 50 th anniversary this year.
How can energy storage help Ireland achieve net-zero ambitions?
Our members are delivering the energy storage projects alongside ESB Networks that are needed to reduce the use of fossil fuels and drive down energy prices while ensuring a secure, stable electricity system. The energy storage industry is ready to help deliver on Ireland’s net-zero ambitions.”
