Enabling the Energy Transition

The critical bridge to net zero

Kestrel bridges today’s energy system and Ireland’s net-zero future. It restores storage lost as coal, peat and oil assets retire, while creating infrastructure that can support large-scale hydrogen storage and deeper renewable integration. In future, surplus renewable electricity could be converted to green hydrogen, stored by Kestrel and used when renewable output is low.

Replaces Lost System Energy Storage

As coal, peat and oil assets retire, Ireland is losing stored energy faster than clean alternatives are being developed. Kestrel restores the flexibility needed for a renewable-led power system.

  • Secures fuel for power generation during periods of low wind and solar output. Restores system resilience without long-term lock-in, as the facility can transition to hydrogen or biomethane. Provides a secure bridge during the transition to renewables.

Why it matters?

A renewable future can’t be built without system stability.

Hydrogen-Ready Infrastructure

Kestrel is being designed for future green hydrogen storage, allowing the asset to evolve with Ireland’s offshore wind ambitions and reducing stranded-asset risk.

  • Fully aligned with National Hydrogen Strategy
  • Supports future green hydrogen from offshore wind
  • Designed to transition to hydrogen without major retrofit.

Why it matters?

Kestrel is infrastructure for today’s security needs and tomorrow’s clean energy system.

Scalable, Sustainable, Invisible

Offshore and underground, Kestrel provides the only multi-TWh long-duration storage solution capable of delivering the scale required for deep decarbonisation quietly, sustainably, and without community disruption.

  • Offshore, underground, and low-impact
  • Stores surplus renewable energy for later use.
  • Complements batteries and interconnection with multi-TWh capacity.

Why it matters?

Ireland’s transition needs scale, and only geological storage can deliver it.
