4 FAQs about [Energy storage in smart grid Estonia]
Will Eesti Energia install a grid-scale battery energy storage system?
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.
How will a solar energy storage facility work in Estonia?
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.
Can Eesti Energia build a large-scale energy storage facility?
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.
Is Eesti Energia a viable solution?
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.
