DUBLIN, IRELAND— 30 September 2021 —ESB and energy storage experts Fluence have today (30th Sept 21) 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.
Commenting, president for Fluence Europe, Middle East and Africa Paul McCusker said: "This is a key year for Ireland''s 70x30 climate ambitions. Fluence already has a close to 100MWh portfolio of projects with the ESB, and we are delighted to add to that with the Poolbeg and South Wall energy storage solutions. These projects represent a leap forward in terms of reliability for the electricity system and will quickly add much needed flexible capacity in the constrained Dublin area."
Fluence Managing Director, Dr Marek Kubik added: "Batteries are the digital power plants of the future, swiftly replacing the analog power plants that ran on fossil fuels. As the first truly digital asset on the electricity grid, battery energy storage enables a high degree of stability for intermittent resources, along with a high degree of control for overall grid reliability. They can be built quickly and cost-effectively to provide the requisite flexible, critical capacity needed to keep Ireland''s economy humming."
Head of Asset Development at ESB Generation Trading, Paul Smith added: "ESB is very excited to be partnering with Fluence in delivering our first battery portfolio of scale onto the Irish grid. This new battery capacity is an example of ESB''s commitment to developing renewables-enabling projects consistent with our Brighter Future Strategy, leading the transition to reliable, affordable low carbon energy. We look forward to working with our partners to safely progress these projects over the coming 18 months."

Triodos Energy Transition Europe Fund is reinforcing its commitment to Irish startup GridBeyond Storage with a new investment of €11.25 million in the next phase of their partnership. This substantial investment forms part of a combined total of €12.5 million earmarked for GridBeyond Storage, a joint venture dedicated to accelerating the deployment of Behind-the-Meter (BTM) battery energy storage systems (BESS) across the UK and Ireland.
Two BESS projects are already in the pipeline, with a combined capacity of 8 MWh slated for Ireland and Scotland. These projects are expected to enhance energy resilience and support the integration of more renewable energy into the grid.
Michiel van Beek, Head of Project Equity at Triodos Investment Management said: "We are very pleased to be extending our relationship with GridBeyond following a positive first two years working together. This next phase of our partnership is a highly promising development for our fund and our investors This collaboration keeps us at the forefront of sustainable energy investment."
GridBeyond is exploring other cutting-edge opportunities, such as BTM solar photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) charging projects for commercial and industrial customers.
Since launching the partnership in 2022, they have established GridBeyond Storage as a 50/50 joint venture, achieving notable milestones in the energy sector. Key achievements include a 1.1 MWh BESS project at Carey Glass in Ireland, which has been operational since March 2023, and an 8.3 MWh BESS project at O-I Glass in Scotland, set to go live in January 2025.
