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.
State-owned energy company Eesti Energi management board member Kristjan Kuhi recently highlighted to Energy-Storage.news Premium that the transition to a 15-minute balancing period and the desynchronisation of the Baltic electricity system from the Russian grid have spurred growth in Estonia's energy storage sector.
Baltic Storage Platform confirmed that the BESS will seek to ensure the stability and resilience of the Estonian electricity grid. This will also extend to the Baltic power grids—Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia—as they are anticipated to be disconnected from the Russian power grid and synchronised to the European grid by 2025.
