RES has submitted a planning application for the Machaire battery energy storage system (BESS) on land approximately 600m northeast of the Rasharkin substation, in the townland of Magheraboy, approximately 1km north of Rasharkin, Co. Antrim.

Battery energy storage is essential to enabling and accelerating the rollout of zero carbon energy. Increasing its installed capacity will be vital to support Northern Ireland's net-zero emissions target and help to deliver a reliable, resilient, decarbonised electricity system for the future.
