The project has secured land, planning consent, and a grid connection and has been awarded a 10-year capacity contract. It is expected to come online in 2028.

Italian carbon battery developer Energy Dome and Google are extending their previously announced partnership to develop renewable energy storage infrastructure in Ireland. The two companies have signed a commercial contract together for a 23 MW/200 MWh BESS based on Energy Dome’s proprietary carbon technology.
The technology works by using grid power to compress and store carbon until power is needed. When the power is needed, the system expands the carbon through a turbine to generate energy that is sent back to the grid. Crucially, the technology doesn’t rely on lithium or other minerals that are difficult to source due to supply chain constraints. It is also capable of long duration storage, providing more flexibility to the grid.
The Irish project has secured land, planning consent, and a grid connection and has been awarded a 10-year capacity contract by transmission system operator Eirgrid. It is expected to come online in 2028.
