> A flywheel-battery hybrid storage system has been installed in Ireland, a system that the companies involved claim is the first of its kind.

From 2016. Apparently part of the charm of flywheel storage systems is that they're always the first of their kind :)

(I suppose you could argue that the Irish one was the first with batteries and this is the first without, but really I suspect neither are either)
