      And that’s just absolute capacity : per-capita we’re way ahead in first.

      Is this just commercial battery projects or does it include domestic battery capacity?

      So that means my bill will get cheaper?

      Right? 

      Right!?

      Generally these batteries are discharged twice per day at peak times and on standby the remainder of the time in order to provide grid stability facilities. Theyre very good addition to a grid which has spurious renewable generation that cannot be guaranteed (although objectively the sun will rise everyday).

      Honest question based on what I see here. Is Reddit disproportionately pro all renewables than other social media sites. Regularly see posts like this and also giving out about people protesting wind farms close to their place of living or solar farms etc. I don’t see on other sites or in my day to day life such a push towards it than here. And it goes for other topics aswell. This site seems very left leaning

      Here’s the news report this graph is from: https://www.euronews.com/business/2026/05/08/europes-electricity-storage-race-which-countries-lead-in-battery-capacity

      How did this happen?

      Is it because of the govt? ESB Networks? Industry?

      Good start but MOAR!!

      That plus the inter-connectors with UK, France and soon Spain will be the future.

      Whisper it – but ESB/EirGrid are fucking brilliant. Our grid is also one of the most capable for taking renewables in the world.

      In this thread-

      So, so many people utterly unable to take a hard, objective win for the country and tying themselves in knots to be miserable anyway.

      What type batteries are we talking here? Any gravity or all chemical

    15. thecraftybee1981 on

      Ireland would be 4th in Europe. The UK is missing from the graph and had 6.9GW of operational batteries by the end of 2025.

      Great stuff. We flying it. Now let’s use all that electricity for the people. Let’s not hand it over to privatisation or to data centres
