4 FAQs about Irish Off-Grid Battery Storage

How much battery storage do we need in Ireland & Northern Ireland?

In 2021 energy experts Baringa estimated that to hit the 80 per cent renewable electricity targets in Ireland and Northern Ireland by 2030 we would need at least 1,700 MW of battery storage on the island of Ireland. Every battery storage project connected makes our electricity grid more secure and helps to integrate wind and solar power.

Where is Ireland's first grid-scale battery energy storage system based?

Statkraft has announced that it is to build Ireland’s first four-hour grid-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) in Co. Offaly. The 20MW BESS, supplied by global market leader in utility-scale energy storage solutions and services, Fluence, will be co-located with Statkraft’s 55.8MW Cushaling Wind Farm.

How long can a battery storage system last in Ireland?

This battery-based energy storage system is designed to provide 20MW for up to four hours. Most grid-scale batteries currently deployed in Ireland range from 30 minutes to two hours of energy storage capacity. The longer the duration of battery energy storage capacity, the more benefits it can offer.

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.
