ESB and energy storage experts Fluence have announced details of a 75 MW / 150 MWh energy storage solution at ESB’s plant in Poolbeg in Dublin and a 30 MW / 60 MWh project at a second ESB plant at South Wall in Dublin.
The Poolbeg battery is the largest by energy capacity signed in the EU. Coupled with ESB / Fluence projects already underway at Inchicore, Dublin, and Aghada, Co Cork, the 308 MWh fleet also represents the largest total energy storage portfolio transaction in Europe. When completed, the portfolio will have the capacity to power approximately 321,000 homes and businesses in Ireland at times of peak demand.
The addition of 150 MWh at Poolbeg and 60 MWh at South Wall, which are due for completion in early 2023, provides battery storage of scale for Dublin.
