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.
It will be used to provide Estonia's state-owned energy company, Eesti Energia, has officially launched the country's largest battery energy storage system at the Auvere industrial complex in Ida-Viru County. The 26.5 MW/53.1 MWh facility aims to enhance regional grid stability and reduce peak electricity costs for consumers.
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.
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.
Estonia's investment in large-scale battery parks highlights its strategic push for both energy independence and a more sustainable power grid. However, battery parks do have environmental impacts.
