State-owned Estonian energy company Eesti Energia is planning to build a 225MW pumped hydro energy storage facility, as part of a wider push to become independent of Russian energy.
Construction has begun on the first of four battery energy storage systems (BESS) totalling 200MW/200MWh from global system integrator Fluence in Lithuania.
A leaked draft version the policy strategy designed to liberate the European Union from ties to Russian fossil fuel imports, includes no mention of energy storage.
