ESB's new synchronous compensator with the world’s largest flywheel at Moneypoint

In November, Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications, Eamon Ryan TD launched ESB's new synchronous compensator with the world’s largest flywheel at Moneypoint Generating Station in Co Clare. This is Phase One of Green Atlantic @ Moneypoint – our multi-billion-euro project to transform the site into a green energy hub.

This technology, delivered with our partners Siemens Energy, will play an important part in further strengthening the stability and resilience of the Irish grid and support ever-more renewables coming on stream in line with our #ESBNetZeroFuture strategy.
