A flurry of grid-scale energy storage news from Europe, with large-scale projects progressed in Kosovo, Switzerland and Croatia involving Millenium Challenge Corporation, Intilion and NGEN respectively.

EPCG, a utility and distribution network operator (DNO) in the Southeast European country of Montenegro, is looking to add 300MW of BESS to its grid.

The Energy Regulatory Office (ERO) of Kosovo is reviewing an application to build a 250MW pumped hydro storage facility.

The government of Kosovo this week announced it will build a battery energy storage system (BESS) with a capacity of 200MWh-plus to deal with the country’s energy crisis.

About a year after unveiling what is thought to be the first large-scale Tesla Powerpack battery project in the Balkans, Slovenian energy services company NGEN has confirmed that it has completed its second, even bigger project.

NGEN, a developer based in Slovenia, has celebrated the installation of a 22MWh grid-scale battery energy storage system (ESS) supplied by Tesla in what is thought to be the product’s first deployment in the Balkans.
