These BESS projects (at 200MW in total) are the largest of their kind in Ireland and one of the largest in Europe.
The BESS projects provide essential support for Ireland’s transition to renewable electricity by using cutting-edge energy storage technology to mitigate the intermittency of electricity generated from renewable sources such as wind farms (for example, by storing excess energy at times of low demand and releasing such energy when demand increases). Matheson collaborated with leading international Korean law firm Kim & Chang to deliver a tailored Irish legal solution to Hanwha Energy Corporation and Lumcloon Energy on critical matters such as the Irish DS3 grid system services regime and the delivery of an international multi-party EPC development model in an Irish context.
