Innogy has confirmed plans to build three battery storage projects in the Republic of Ireland at an estimated cost of €100m ($113m). The first is a 5MW project on the outskirts of Dublin that will be built by Irish firm Enerco and its partner EDF Energy. Innogy said the investment followed an increased commitment from the Irish government to boost the level of renewable generation, with the batteries expected to be needed in balancing intermittent output from wind and solar farms.
