Former environment minister Eamon Ryan said there are “more economic, more environmental and more secure” options for energy security
The Kylemore Battery Energy Storage System in Dublin went into operation in 2023 and has the capability of providing 30MW of fast-acting storage. The South Wall Battery Energy Storage System went live in 2023 and has the capability of providing 30MW of fast-acting energy storage.
According to research by Energy-Storage.news' publisher Solar Media in April 2020, the Republic of Ireland already had a pipeline of energy storage projects of 2.1GW, with an additional 330MW of projects located in Northern Ireland.
We currently have more than 300MWs of battery storage capacity in operation in Ireland, making it one of the largest battery portfolios in Europe. We plan to develop a pipeline of large scale battery projects, as well as additional renewable enabling technologies.
“A lot of energy storage has crept under the radar so far in Ireland,” he told ESS News. Developers secure planning quite easily but the route to market is a challenge. Energy storage has the opposite problem to the wind industry where planning is an obstacle but the route to market is there.
Small-scale lithium-ion residential battery systems in the German market suggest that between 2014 and 2020, battery energy storage systems (BESS) prices fell by 71%, to USD 776/kWh.
The biggest operator is ESB, which owns the current largest operating battery in Ireland – the 150 MW Aghada 2 project. ESB also owns the 19 MW Aghada 1 battery, the 73 MW Poolbeg battery, and the Kylemore and South Wall BESS which are both 30 MW. Many of ESB's BESS are on existing sites where it owned thermal or flex gen assets, said Smith.
