Ireland's ESB has opened a battery energy storage system at its Poolberg site in Dublin. Operational since November, the battery plant is capable of providing 75 MW of energy for two hours to Ireland's electricity system. It features high-capacity batteries that store excess renewable energy for discharge when required.
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.
ESB partnered with energy storage specialists Fluence and Irish companies Kirby Group and Powercomm Group to complete the project. It is part of a series of major battery plants, with a total investment of up to €300 million ($323.6 million). The rest of the projects are due to be completed this year.
