ESB has today opened its latest major battery plant at its Aghada site in Co Cork which will add 150MW (300MWh) of fast-acting energy storage to help provide grid stability and deliver more renewable power onto Ireland’s electricity system.
[pdf] Dutch startup Ore Energy has connected its iron-air battery to the grid in Delft, the Netherlands. The company announced the system is the first of its kind to be fully operational and grid-connected in the world, while also being the first fully-built in the European Union.
[pdf] Installed by Switzerland-based MET Group, the project is powered by Tesla Megapack 2 units, supplied by Huawei Technologies’ battery units, and built by Forest-Vill and follows a smaller 4 MW / 8 MWh pilot at the same site in 2022.
