Does SSE have a battery storage system in Ireland?

SSE has grown its secured battery energy storage system (BESS) pipeline in Ireland to 300MW with the acquisition of the 120MW/240MWh Thornsberry BESS project near Tullamore, County Offaly. Pictured is the company’s 50MW battery storage facility in Wiltshire, England.

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.

What will ESB's new battery plant do for Ireland?

ESB has today opened its latest major battery plant at its Aghada site in Co Cork which will add 150MW (300MWh) of fast-acting energy storage to help provide grid stability and deliver more renewable power onto Ireland’s electricity system.

Where is Ireland's First 4-hour grid-scale battery energy storage system being built?

Construction is underway by Statkraft at Ireland’s first 4-hour grid-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) in County Offaly, in Ireland’s midlands. The 20MW, 4-hour BESS solution is supplied by a global market leader in utility-scale energy storage solutions and services, Fluence.
