Dynamic Frequency Response

Collaborating with Enel X Global Retail, our Dynamic Frequency Response project aims to harness the potential of data centre batteries to facilitate Ireland's transition towards renewable energy sources. By doing so, it is estimated that over 30,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions from the country's energy grid can be avoided. This initiative addresses the challenges posed by Ireland's rapidly evolving energy sector, where the increasing prominence of renewable energy, such as wind and solar power, necessitates innovative approaches to ensure grid stability.
