Groundbreaking for 400MWh BESS in Estonia
Baltic Storage Platform, a joint venture (JV), has broken ground on two new 200MW/400MWh battery energy storage systems (BESS) in Estonia.
The flagship battery storage project commenced operations on February 1, only days before cutting ties with the Russian power grid. Estonian state-owned energy company Eesti Energia has inaugurated the nation's largest battery energy storage facility at the Auvere industrial complex in Ida-Viru County.
The battery energy storage park and its substation will be connected to the electricity transmission network using a 330kV AC underground cable, marking a first in Estonia. Baltic Storage Platform confirmed that the BESS will seek to ensure the stability and resilience of the Estonian electricity grid.
Energy storage is also vital for meeting Estonia's goal of sourcing all its electricity from renewable sources by 2030. The country's climate minister, Yoko Alender, emphasised the role of storage systems in this transition, saying they would help ensure a “clean, reliable and affordable energy future” for Estonia.
Estonia is building the largest battery park in continental Europe, boosting energy security and supporting the transition to renewables.
