European Refreshments Battery Energy Storage System

Permission for the development consisting of a Battery Energy Storage System and all associated works located on a site at IDA Business & Technology Park, Rosslare Road, Co. Wexford, Y35 VNH4, with all associated works at European Refreshments Unlimited Company. The development will consist of the following elements: the installation and operation of 1no. battery energy storage system compound containing battery energy storage skids, energy management system, electrical transformer and inverters units, CCTV and lighting to compound, underground cabling and ducting, boundary fencing, security entrance gates and all associated ancillary site development, landscaping and reinstatement works. The proposed Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is a critical component of a broader sustainability initiative aimed at reducing carbon emissions and supporting the transition to renewable energy. The BESS will be integrated with the existing photovoltaic (PV) system to store surplus energy generated during periods of high solar output. This stored energy can then be utilised during periods of low solar generation or high energy demand, ensuring a consistent and reliable energy supply to the European Refreshments facility.
