1,049 MW of batteries are registered in the all-island market, in 28 units. 3,838 MW more hold a signed connection agreement and are not yet energised.
SEMO, the market operator, registers every unit in the all-island wholesale market with its capacity, and files 27 of them as battery storage, plus Golagh Battery, which it files as another fuel and which is added by hand as a battery: that is the fleet, both grids, both jurisdictions. EirGrid publishes every generator with a signed transmission connection agreement that is not yet energised, and ESB Networks the same for the distribution grid, with what it has energised: 44 batteries contracted. A market unit’s figure is its registered capacity; a contracted battery’s is maximum export capacity, the connection, never the battery. The Ireland page reads the same registers as tables.

Every battery in the market and in the lists
Largest first. Click a row to centre the map on its station. A market unit is placed by the place in its name, or by the ESB Networks station of the same battery where the two lists were matched; a contracted battery by its station. Positions are from OpenStreetMap or GeoNames by name; 9 of 73 rows could not be placed and are in the table only.

Read as published; each PDF list checked against its printed total. An ESB energised battery that is a unit in the market is one row, and the row says on what it was matched. Positions from OpenStreetMap (Open Database Licence) and GeoNames (CC BY 4.0), never from the lists. Northern Ireland’s connection lists (SONI, NIE Networks) are not yet held; its market units are.
