FAQS 4

How much energy storage does Ireland have?

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.

Where is Ireland's only pumped storage power station?

Capacity: 292 MW Commissioned: 1974 Turlough Hill, Ireland’s only pumped storage power station, is located around 60 km south of Dublin City in the Wicklow Mountains. The station generates up to 292 MW during peak demand periods.

What can ESB do for Ireland's Electricity System?

Large-scale battery energy storage projects and Turlough Hill pumped storage power station combine to reach milestone that can help to provide flexibility and support more renewables on Ireland’s electricity system. Today, ESB Networks has announced that it has 1,000 MW (one Giga Watt) of electricity storage connected to Ireland’s network.

What is Turlough Hill pumped hydro energy storage?

Large-scale battery energy storage projects and Turlough Hill pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) between them help provide flexibility and support more renewables in Ireland’s electricity system. Energy storage facilities are connected across the grid to both the transmission and distribution systems, which are managed by EirGrid and ESB Networks.
