The Baltics is among the most attractive regions in Europe for battery energy storage system (BESS) investment right now, with the recent decoupling from Russia and increasing renewable energy use sending flexibility needs soaring.

State-owned utility and power generator Eesti Energia has completed and put into commercial operation the first large-scale BESS in Estonia.

Battery storage played a crucial role in the Baltic region’s switch from Russia over to the Continental European grid over the weekend, coinciding with Lithuania launching a €100 million storage support scheme.

The government of Estonia will financially back a 500MW pumped hydro energy storage project to meet the country’s need for long-duration energy storage, as the Baltics prepare to disconnect from Russia’s grid this weekend.

Baltic Storage Platform, a joint venture (JV), has broken ground on two new 200MW/400MWh battery energy storage systems (BESS) in Estonia.

We hear from utility Eesti Energia about its 25MW/50MWh BESS project in Estonia, including what it hopes to achieve with the project and why it needed a second procurement to launch the project.

The government of Estonia has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for what would be the Eastern European country’s first pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) facility.
