A state agency in Estonia has provided €5.2 million (US$5.7 million) in grants for 10 energy storage projects, including a 4MW/8MWh battery storage project from utility Eesti Energia. The state-funded Environmental Investment Centre announced the grant funding for the ten projects being developed by six companies today (28 June).
The 25MW/50MWh BESS project is a pilot project, which means that we want to convince ourselves that it is possible to design similar storage facilities outside Estonia, i.e. in Eesti Energia’s other home markets in Latvia, Lithuania and Poland.
The six companies are Utilitas Tallinn, Utilitas Estonia, Sunly Solar, Prategli Invest, Five Wind Energy, and Eesti Energia, and three out of the ten are heat storage projects, with the remainder for storing electricity.
Eesti Energia will build the company’s first large-scale storage system at the Auvere industrial complex later this year to balance the fluctuations in electricity prices caused by the growth in renewable energy production and to support the stability of the electrical system.
The flagship battery storage project commenced operations on February 1, only days before cutting ties with the Russian power grid. Estonian state-owned energy company Eesti Energia has inaugurated the nation’s largest battery energy storage facility at the Auvere industrial complex in Ida-Viru County.
LG’s proposed project was most suitable for Eesti Energia regarding the technology and its cost. The pumped hydroelectric power plant project is currently at the pre-study stage, where work continues to develop a commercially viable and technically feasible solution. What other BESS projects are we likely to see in Estonia in the near future?
