Ireland could be home to one of the world’s biggest lithium-ion energy storage systems after planning permission to build a 100MW facility in Galway County, Ireland, was granted to power company Engie Developments Ireland, part of the French-owned Engie Group.
If built, the system would equal the capacity of the world’s biggest ESS, the 100MW/129MWh system near Jamestown, South Australia, that uses Tesla batteries paired with French utility Neoen’s Hornsdale wind farm.
