ESB has officially opened a major battery plant at its Poolbeg site in Dublin, which will store excess renewable energy for discharge when needed. It said the facility will add 75MW of fast-acting energy storage to help provide grid stability.
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.
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.
Electricity storage systems can “bank” excess energy from renewables when they are plentiful so that it can utilised on the grid instead of fossil fuel. This might be when demand is high or when capacity from wind or solar is low – for instance, during a low pressure period in winter.
