Estonia´s first long-duration energy storage project, Zero Terrain Paldiski, obtained the main building permits in December 2022. Construction of the country’s first pumped-hydro storage plant will begin in 2025.
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.
Nuclear energy was also on the table last Thursday when the government discussed ways of safeguarding the Estonian economy against energy price shocks in the future. Because nuclear energy is heavily regulated on the international level, its implementation is far more complicated and time-consuming than building any other kind of power plant.
Eesti Energia, a utility based in Estonia, will install the country’s first grid-scale battery energy storage system (BESS), it announced yesterday. The utility’s sole shareholder is the Baltic Republic’s government, serving both residential and business customers with electricity and gas, with a service area spanning from Finland to Poland.
Construction of the country’s first pumped-hydro storage plant will begin in 2025. During the nominal operating cycle of 12 hours, Zero Terrain Paldiski generates 6GWh of power to the grid, which is somewhat more than the average daily consumption of all Estonian households.
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.
