Iron-air batteries are a new form of long-duration energy storage (LDES) that is needed to help Ireland reduce its dependence on fossil gas and keep the lights on during the
Ireland takes a leap towards clean energy with its largest battery storage facility. Explore the benefits of this 150 MWh project.
Fully operational since June 2022: With a capacity of 60 megawatts and 34 megawatt hours (MWh), the Lisdrumdoagh Energy Storage Facility can feed electricity into the grid at very
The Electricity Storage Policy Framework presents 10 government actions to support the role of electricity storage systems in Ireland''s energy transition, identifying the key
Our recent attendance at Energy Storage Ireland 2025 showcased a number of insights into the state of energy storage processes in Ireland & where to go next.
Ireland''s energy storage capacity could increase almost eightfold by 2035, driven by a growing pipeline of battery projects and calls for stronger policy support, according to a
The energy storage market in Ireland continues to show strong growth potential, with new additions providing an uptick in activity.
Ireland could host Europe''s first large-scale, iron-air project southwest of Buncrana town in Donegal County. The 10 MW facility proposed by FuturEnergy Ireland will be capable
The European photovoltaic container market is experiencing significant growth in Central and Eastern Europe, with demand increasing by over 350% in the past four years. Containerized solar solutions now account for approximately 45% of all temporary and mobile solar installations in the region. Poland leads with 40% market share in the CEE region, driven by construction site power needs, remote industrial operations, and emergency power applications that have reduced energy costs by 55-65% compared to diesel generators. The average system size has increased from 30kW to over 200kW, with folding container designs cutting transportation costs by 70% compared to traditional solutions. Emerging technologies including bifacial modules and integrated energy management have increased energy yields by 20-30%, while modular designs and local manufacturing have created new economic opportunities across the solar container value chain. Typical containerized projects now achieve payback periods of 3-5 years with levelized costs below $0.08/kWh.
Containerized energy storage solutions are revolutionizing power management across Europe's industrial and commercial sectors. Mobile 20ft and 40ft BESS containers now provide flexible, scalable energy storage with deployment times reduced by 75% compared to traditional stationary installations. Advanced lithium-ion technologies (LFP and NMC) have increased energy density by 35% while reducing costs by 30% annually. Intelligent energy management systems now optimize charging/discharging cycles based on real-time electricity pricing, increasing ROI by 45-65%. Safety innovations including advanced thermal management and integrated fire suppression have reduced risk profiles by 85%. These innovations have improved project economics significantly, with commercial and industrial energy storage projects typically achieving payback in 2-4 years through peak shaving, demand charge reduction, and backup power capabilities. Recent pricing trends show standard 20ft containers (200kWh-800kWh) starting at €85,000 and 40ft containers (800kWh-2MWh) from €160,000, with flexible financing including lease-to-own and energy-as-a-service models available.
