4 FAQs about Dublin Wind and Solar Energy Storage

What is the Dublin Energy Hub?

The Dublin Energy Hub, housing the largest battery, serves as a testbed for the future of clean energy in Ireland. It is envisioned as a hub for integrating various green technologies, including offshore wind, hydrogen, and carbon capture and storage, all working together to power a sustainable future for the Emerald Isle.

Why do we need wind & solar energy in Ireland?

Wind and solar energy play a key role in Ireland's transition from fossil-fuel-based electricity generation. But these precious resources will need to be stored for times when the wind doesn't blow, or the sun doesn't shine, says the ESB's Clare Duffy

Could energy storage transform Ireland's energy system?

If this pipeline was built out, the report states that Ireland could capture all of that wasted energy, further reducing our reliance on fossil fuels, and driving down energy costs for consumers. "Energy storage solutions can transform our electricity system for the better," said Bobby Smith, head of Energy Storage Ireland.

Could a wind energy pipeline be built out in Ireland?

According to Energy Storage Ireland, 14% of all wind energy generated in Ireland last year was wasted due to lack of storage. If this pipeline was built out, the report states that Ireland could capture all of that wasted energy, further reducing our reliance on fossil fuels, and driving down energy costs for consumers.
