Since November 2024: 2 batteries entered, 83 MW.

SEMO publishes its register of the all-island market every month, EirGrid replaces its list of contracted generators when it changes, and ESB Networks publishes its distribution lists each quarter. Every copy is kept and the difference printed, battery by battery. Nothing here is inferred from the numbers; it is one capture against the one before, identifier by identifier. The column headed "our reading" is a rule, and it can be wrong.

Where this can be wrong

SEMO filed batteries under their own fuel type from its December 2025 report and under multi-fuel before, so that month shows every battery’s fuel type changing at once; the set followed is traced by unit id, not by fuel type, so the history behind it is real. EirGrid’s and ESB Networks’ lists are read from PDFs, checked against each list’s printed total, and a row that the reader misreads in one capture and not the next would print as a change; the first read of each list is a baseline, not a report. Where a publisher is wrong, this page is wrong with it until the publisher corrects itself.

The whole ledger as a CSV.

SEMO’s register of the market

A battery enters when SEMO registers the unit in the all-island market and leaves when it is deregistered. The set followed is every unit the market files as battery storage today, traced back by its unit id, because that fuel type only exists from the December 2025 report. 24 captures held, November 2024 to October 2026.

Nothing moved in 21 of the 23 comparisons: October 2026, September 2026, August 2026, July 2026, June 2026, May 2026, April 2026, March 2026, February 2026, January 2026, November 2025, October 2025, September 2025, July 2025, June 2025, May 2025, April 2025, March 2025, February 2025, January 2025, December 2024.

EirGrid’s contracted transmission generators

A battery enters when it signs a transmission connection agreement and leaves when it is energised or the agreement lapses; EirGrid replaces the list, so each capture is dated by the list’s own date. 1 capture held, 5 August 2026 to 5 August 2026.

One capture so far. The next read starts this ledger.

ESB Networks’ distribution lists

The five lists are read as one table, so a battery that moves from the contracted list to the energised list shows as a change of status rather than leaving one list and entering another. 1 capture held, 1 July 2026 to 1 July 2026.

One capture so far. The next read starts this ledger.
