Planning permission has been granted for the development of a Battery Energy Storage System in Co. Cavan.

The development is for 10-year planning permission for the provision of a Battery Energy Storage System and compound on a site of c. 1.27ha to support the adjacent permitted solar farm.
The Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) compound will accommodate self-contained Lithium Ion Phosphate batteries, within 14 no. BESS units, and 3 no. twin skid units and a single skid unit.
A control room is proposed to the west of the compound.
