Tentative plans are in place to build what would be the north's largest single energy infrastructure project for more than 50 years. A consortium headed by NI Water and Mutual Energy is examining the feasibility of building the region's first pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) scheme in Co Antrim.
Pumped-storage hydroelectricity (PSH) is a type of hydroelectric power generation that stores energy in the form of potential energy of water, pumped from a lower elevation reservoir to a higher elevation. Low-cost off-peak electric power is used to run the pumps, and ther stored energy can be used for load balancing.
Ireland could develop an additional 360MW of pumped storage hydroelectric capacity by 2030 to mitigate security of supply concerns in relation to electricity.
The deployment of pumped hydro to provide a low carbon form of energy storage will be dependent on the identification of a suitable site and could help to mitigate relatively small but sustained electricity supply shocks by profiling demand to periods of high-RES output.
There is currently only one pumped storage hydropower facility, Turlough Hill, in County Wicklow. This facility, operated by the ESB, currently has the ability to go from idle to full power in the space of just 70 seconds, and its four turbines can generate in the region of 300MW of electricity.
