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 Poolbeg Battery Energy Storage System in Dublin went into operation in November 2023 and has the capability of providing 75MW of fast-acting energy storage.
Now Ireland is set to be the first country outside the US to try out Form Energy’s iron-air batteries, a company spokesperson said. The company where Blount works, FuturEnergy Ireland, a joint venture between commercial semi-states ESB and Coillte, is planning to install one at a substation near Buncrana, in Co. Donegal.
Battery Storage Projects Are Advancing Ireland’s Renewables However, using battery storage alongside solar and wind power is a practical and emerging solution, especially in markets where the weather is not consistent. That approach allows keeping energy for later use.
People who own businesses or homes in Ireland and want to purchase battery storage options now have more opportunities to follow through with their intentions. Sonnen is a German company that recently brought its modular battery backup system to Ireland and the United Kingdom.
What takes a bit more explanation, and a bit of PowerPoint, is what this new type of battery is, and the role it could play in helping Ireland get rid of gas-fired power plants and building a grid powered almost entirely by wind and solar – which wax and wane with the weather, and don’t emit carbon to worsen climate change.
However, demand for grid service assets such as battery storage is likely to multiply, necessitating the provision of a DS3 type scheme from 2024 onwards. A pipeline of over 2.5GW of grid-scale battery projects has now emerged in Ireland, with capacity projections increasing by 25 per cent in recent years.
