Site battery storage in Ireland
For projects in the Republic of Ireland the electrical arrangement matches our published reference data. What needs settling for each project is the supply route, how the unit crosses the Irish Sea or the border, and whether the site connection can keep a battery charged.
Enquiries welcome from the Republic of Ireland; the supply route, delivery and commissioning are confirmed for each project.
Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland
This page is about projects in the Republic of Ireland. Projects in Northern Ireland are handled as United Kingdom projects, and the UK page covers them.
The distinction matters commercially more than technically. The two jurisdictions differ in currency, tax and how equipment is moved in, so the supplying partner, the delivery route and the contracting party are confirmed separately for each. When you send a brief, give the county. For a project close to the border, say which side the site is on and where the contracting company is registered.
Electrical fit
Sites in the Republic of Ireland generally distribute at 400 V three-phase, 50 Hz. The published data for the two systems in our current range covers the IEC variant, rated for 380 to 415 V, three-phase with neutral and earth, so the standard arrangement is inside the documented range. The site-specific checks still apply: the earthing arrangement, the connection point and the protection on the temporary supply.

Sites working from a small connection
A frequent reason to look at storage is a connection that is smaller than the construction peaks: a temporary supply sized for cabins, or a permanent connection that has not yet been energised at its full capacity. A battery can charge steadily from that connection and supply the short demands above its limit, such as crane and hoist lifts.
There is a firm limit to this. Storage does not create energy. Over a working day the connection has to deliver the site’s total consumption, plus losses, or the battery runs down however large it is. The unit’s own ceiling is separate: the maximum charging input is 205 kW for the Ampd 200 and 410 kW for the Ampd 400, but what charges it in practice is whatever your connection has spare. The limited grid guide works through the arithmetic.
Where there is no usable connection yet, a generator + battery arrangement is the usual starting point, with the battery cutting the hours the generator runs.
Delivery by road and sea
The maximum wet weight is 5,500 kg for the Ampd 200 and 9,000 kg for the Ampd 400. Moving a unit of that size to an Irish site is a planned heavy delivery involving road haulage and a sea crossing. The manufacturer’s brochures list UN 38.3 transport testing for road and sea; the documents for the exact configuration are obtained as part of the project.
Route, timing and cost are confirmed in the proposal rather than quoted from a standard table. At the site end, a review needs the access route, the lifting equipment available and the ground conditions at the set-down point.
What to send for a project in Ireland
- County and nearest town, and which side of the border the site is on
- What needs power, and the main problem: fuel cost, generator hours, a small connection or quiet periods
- Connection capacity available today and any planned upgrade date
- Generator rating, if one is on site
- Start date, duration and whether you expect to hire or buy
Unknowns are fine at this stage. Get a site power proposal and the remaining questions are settled in the technical review. Regulatory and connection requirements for your site sit with the competent local specialists; nothing on this page is legal advice.

Questions buyers ask
Do you handle projects in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland the same way?
The technical assessment is the same, but the supply route is confirmed separately. Northern Ireland projects are treated as United Kingdom projects. Republic of Ireland projects can involve a different supplying entity, currency, tax treatment and delivery route. Your proposal states which applies and who you would contract with.
Can a battery help while a site waits for a larger grid connection?
Often, provided the energy adds up. A battery can charge steadily from a small connection and supply short peaks above its limit. It cannot supply more energy over a day than the connection delivers, less losses. If average demand exceeds the connection, a generator or a larger connection is still needed.
How does a multi-tonne battery unit get to a site in Ireland?
By road and sea, as a planned heavy delivery. The route, timing and cost are worked out for each project and set out in the proposal, together with the lifting arrangement at site. We do not publish standard delivery times.
