Knockraha BESS
Developed by Drumkee LCIS Ltd
Ballynanelagh, County Cork
About
Developed by Drumkee LCIS Ltd, Knockraha BESS will be a 100-megawatt, two-hour battery energy storage system (BESS). It forms part of the critical infrastructure upgrades required to meet national clean power targets.
Designed by specialist BESS engineers with extensive experience, the site places safety at the heart of its design, while ensuring reliability and minimal disruption to local communities and wildlife.
Specialist landscaping consultants have been employed to advise and design tailored measures that will help minimise the visual disruption to the surrounding environment.
Following consultations with An Coimisiun Pleanala (ACP), it has been determined that the Knockraha BESS project is a development under the Strategic Infrastructure Development within Section 182A of the Planning & Development Act 2000 (as amended). It is a requirement that Drumkee LCIS Ltd create a project-specific website to host all application documentation.
Why do we need a BESS?
Renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power are becoming increasingly important, but they can be intermittent. This means that they do not always produce electricity when it is needed. Energy storage systems like BESS can help to balance supply and demand, ensuring that there is always enough electricity available. Ireland is one of the world leaders in renewable energy power generation and therefore a significant investment in supporting infrastructure is required.
