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.

A solar-focused EPC company designed, supplied, installed and commissioned the two (2) mini-grids of 103.4kwp and 21.45kwp with a battery bank storage of 192kwh and 33.6kwh respectively.
Battery energy storage therefore goes hand in hand with renewable energy generation and are a key part of ESB''s strategy. ESB is developing a pipeline of battery projects as well as other flexible enabling technologies to support our renewables strategy.
Irish state-owned electricity company ESB has opened a 150MW/300MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) at its Aghada site in Co Cork. The project is the latest step in ESB''s commitment to investing €300 million (£251 million) in battery storage technology.
BESS and other forms of storage are a key pillar in Ireland''s future electricity system, together with renewables and the back-up generation that is currently provided by natural gas, and will be replaced by non-fossil fuels over time.
ESB has shown its commitment to battery storage technology through active investment. We have over 300MWs of two-hour storage across five sites, enough to power around 200,000 homes. That represents an investment of €300million.
