Energy Storage Systems

Energy Storage Systems

Eir Solus develops both co-located and standalone energy storage assets, to unlock the full potential of intermittent wind and solar resources

Energy Storage Systems

Eir Solus has a pipeline of energy storage systems across the Island of Ireland

Eir Solus develops stand-alone battery storage systems as well as hybrid energy systems that link battery storage with wind and/or solar plants. Batteries are an important building block of the energy transition, as they stabilise electricity grids and enable a faster expansion of renewable energies.

Flexible storage systems optimally complement renewable energy systems. In times of high electricity production (especially from renewable energy), they charge electricity and feed it back into the grid at times of high demand.

350+ MW

Eir Solus currently has 350+ megawatt under development

Stand-alone

Standalone batteries typically consist of lithium-ion cells, which offer high energy density, long cycle life, and efficient charge/discharge capabilities.

Hybrid

We also develop Hybrid Energy Storage System (HESS) projects which consists of two or more types of energy storage technologies

Storage Technology

Lithium-ion batteries, used in phones and electric vehicles, are currently the dominant grid-scale storage technology

Green Energy

Battery storage technology has a key part to play in ensuring homes and businesses can be powered by green energy, even when the sun isn’t shining or the wind has stopped blowing

Balancing Demand

Battery storage is dispatched every second to keep the supply and demand on the energy grid in balance, preventing imbalance and blackouts

The emergence of battery energy storage facilities offers a gradual replacement of fossil-fuel power plants during peak energy demand.
