Find viable battery storage sites in Ireland in minutes, not weeks.
Grid capacity, planning history, land prices, and environmental constraints — combined into one map and scored A–F. The four data sources you currently cross-reference for weeks, in a single click.
Free to browse. No credit card needed. Pro features unlock scoring, ranked sites, PDF reports, and alerts.
The problem
Five logins. Weeks of cross-referencing. One in three sites is a dud anyway.
Today, screening one BESS site in Ireland means manually combining data from five disconnected sources, each in a different format, none of which talk to each other. Most developers pay consultants €5,000–€20,000 per site to do this work — and discover halfway through that the substation has no headroom, or the council refuses every battery they see.
How it works
Four data layers. One map. An honest A–F score.
BESS Map ingests every relevant Irish dataset, joins them on location, and scores every potential site by combining substation capacity, planning precedent, land cost, and environmental risk.
Grid capacity
Live ESB Networks substation data. See available headroom at every 38 kV / 110 kV / 220 kV site nationwide, colour-coded so you can spot the openings instantly.
Planning intelligence
Every BESS application across Ireland's 31 local authorities. Status, decision date, applicant — and a precedent score that tells you which councils approve vs. refuse battery storage.
Land cost
Recent agricultural sale prices from the Property Price Register and CSO regional averages. Filter by county, date, and proximity to a target substation.
Environmental constraints
SAC, SPA, NHA, and flood zone polygons. Click any point in Ireland and instantly see whether it intersects a designation that would block development.
And then we score and rank every site.
A weighted composite of all four factors, graded A–F. Adjust the weights to match your strategy. Generate a PDF report for any site in one click.
