Here it is! After an extensive review, here is the first publication from our @scienceirel Current Chemistry Investigators project, outlining the workshop content and evaluation. The paper is open access so we hope our findings are useful for others

Incredible to see this! Turlough Hill is a stalwart of energy storage for the Irish Grid. Great to see that batteries are now exceeding it #GreenEnergy #IrishEnergy.
For what we think is the first time, batteries contributed more MW-age to last Tuesday evening's peak demand than Turlough Hill: 196MW vs. 181MW. This and other insights into the Irish grid in our October newsletter, now available. 🔋⛰️

More Irish solar power coming online! In a way, it’s now a cleaner way of extracting energy from bog lands while also protecting the wetland beneath from drying out #CleanEnergy #Solar.
The first signs of life for the new Timahoe North solar farm in county Kildare earlier this week☀️. Right now, Kildare is the smallest of the 5 counties exporting utility-scale solar to the grid. But with Timahoe North's maximum export capacity of 108MW that is about to change!
