4 FAQs about Dublin energy storage solar power generation

Does ESB have a battery plant in Dublin?

ESB has officially opened a major battery plant at its Poolbeg site in Dublin, which will store excess renewable energy for discharge when needed. It said the facility will add 75MW of fast-acting energy storage to help provide grid stability.

What is Ireland's 'largest' battery energy storage facility?

Ireland inaugurated the country’s ‘largest’ grid-scale battery energy storage facility, located in Poolbeg Energy Hub. The 75 MW/150 MWh BESS is aimed at enhancing grid stability and facilitating greater integration of renewable energy into Ireland's power network.

What is the Dublin Energy Hub?

The Dublin Energy Hub, housing the largest battery, serves as a testbed for the future of clean energy in Ireland. It is envisioned as a hub for integrating various green technologies, including offshore wind, hydrogen, and carbon capture and storage, all working together to power a sustainable future for the Emerald Isle.

Why do we need more solar power in Ireland?

This might be when demand is high or when capacity from wind or solar is low – for instance, during a low pressure period in winter. Ireland has about 800MW of storage capacity, while the policy framework recommends procuring additional storage immediately. Ultimately, this will provide cheaper, green electricity to the consumer.
