innogy has taken the final investment decision (FID) for a large-scale battery storage facility in Ireland.
The 60-megawatt (MW) facility will be located in the Irish county of Monaghan within the vicinity of Lisdrumdoagh. The construction will start this year. The commissioning is scheduled for 2021. After full commissioning, the battery storage plant will provide system services to the national grid and will expand innogy’s renewables portfolio in Ireland.
After commissioning, the battery storage system in Lisdrumdoagh will have the ability to deliver 60 MW of power, enough capacity to power around 125,000 homes.
The planned investment volume for the Lisdrumdoagh storage facility amounts to about EUR25 million (US$27.74 million) in total.
