Image: ESB. ESB Networks has announced that Ireland's electricity grid now has 1GW of energy storage available from different energy storage assets. This figure includes 731.5MW of battery energy storage system (BESS) projects and 292MW from Turlough Hill pumped storage power station – which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.
The framework recognises that the energy storage landscape is rapidly evolving. While Ireland currently relies primarily on battery storage and the Turlough Hill Power Station in County Wicklow, new technologies are emerging that could play a key role in the future.
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.
These include: Re-uses the only proven gas storage facility in Ireland (sustainability). Provides in country large scale energy storage (security of supply). Provides 100% back-up for energy system (system resilience/security). Provides a pathway for future hydrogen storage (decarbonisation).
