Siemens Energy Powers Up Hybrid Storage in Ireland

• Siemens Energy is revolutionising the grid connection with a hybrid grid stabilisation and battery storage plant at Shannonbridge, Ireland. Experience the future of clean energy with 160 megawatt-hour capacity and €85m benefit for Ireland’s net-zero emission target.

Siemens Energy has been contracted to deliver a hybrid grid stabilisation and battery storage plant at Shannonbridge, Ireland. It will be the first time a synchronous condenser and battery have been combined into one, single grid connection. The system will have a capacity of 160 megawatt-hour and generate around €85m for Siemens Energy. It will provide power reserve and store excess renewable energy when needed in order to comply with Ireland's net-zero emission target and increasing electricity demand. This project is an example of how innovative technology can help combat the consequences of climate change and deliver a net-zero grid.
