Estonia-based energy company Eesti Energia announced today that it has completed the procurement process for its project to build a 26.5-MW/51-MWh power storage facility at home, the first grid-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) in the country.
The proposed facility is planned to be installed in Ida-Viru county in Estonia’s northeast. It will provide one hour of storage capacity, during which it will release electricity equal to the consumption of around 150,000 households. It will enable the storage of solar power produced by 2,500 residential installations for over two hours.
Estonia-based energy company Eesti Energia plans to install what will be its home country’s first grid-scale battery energy storage system (BESS), of 25 MW/50 MWh in size. The state-owned group said last week it has launched a procurement to find a supplier for the facility this summer. The process will be open internationally.
Eesti Energia was unable to secure a contract for a large-scale energy storage facility through an international tender. It is expected that it would have a capacity ranging from 25 to 50 megawatt-hours that sufficiently meets the reserve needs of the Baltic countries.
The battery park will be called the Baltic Storage Platform, in which Evecon will have a 20 percent stake and Corsica Sole will have 80 percent stake. Climate Minister Kristen Michal (Reform) said that the emergence of reserve and storage capacities in Estonia is good news and it is particularly welcome that it is being done by private companies.
The concept will potentially be used as a viable solution both in Estonia and the company’s other retail markets. Eesti Energia aims to cease producing electricity from oil shale by 2030 and transition exclusively to renewable electricity production.
Eesti Energia aims to cease producing electricity from oil shale by 2030 and transition exclusively to renewable electricity production. Last summer, it unveiled a plan to build an up to 225-MW pumped-storage hydropower plant in Ida-Viru County and secured state funding a few months later. Choose your newsletter by Renewables Now.
