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.
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.
Karl Kull, CEO of Evecon, believes the groundbreaking represents a “historic” moment for Estonia and the entire Baltic energy sector for two primary reasons. “First, this is an extremely important and real step to prepare the synchronisation of the Baltic countries.
