Coldwinters Battery Storage is a proposed c.25MW battery electricity storage system in Co. Dublin

Planning permission was granted in February 2023 for a battery electricity storage system (BESS) in the townland of Coldwinters, north county Dublin, and a revised planning application to optimise the site for the development of a c.25MW BESS project was submitted in September 2026.

The proposed site would consist of the BESS, site substation, and cabling connecting it to the existing 220kV Finglas substation. Over the coming months we will be carrying out detailed environmental assessments, including an ecological impact assessment, noise assessments, and landscape and visual assessments, with the intention of submitting a planning application in Q3 2026.
