The project, which is owned and operated by state-owned firm Energy Cells for Litgrid, is largely to enable the Baltic state grids – Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia – to stand on their own after disconnection from the BRELL Ring (Russia, Belarus and Baltic grid) electricity network, which will occur in 2024.How will Lithuania support energy storage projects?Image: Energy Cells via LinkedIn. Lithuania can move ahead with a scheme to provide €180 million (US$200 million) in grants to energy storage projects after it was approved by the EU. The programme will provide direct grants for the construction of the projects, with a target to support at least 1.2GWh of energy storage projects.

Lithuania can move ahead with a scheme to provide €180 million (US$200 million) in grants to energy storage projects after it was approved by the EU.
How many battery energy storage systems are there in Lithuania?The four battery energy storage systems (BESS), 50MW/50MWh each, have been handed over by Fluence and are now providing services to Litgrid, the transmission system operator (TSO) in Lithuania. They followed a smaller, 1MW/1MWh pilot project to test the use case back in 2021.
Why should Lithuania invest in batteries?It will also enable Lithuania to disconnect from the Russian controlled electricity grid and synchronize with the continental European electricity grid. In case of accidents, batteries will provide instantaneous electricity reserve service in less than one second. In the future, batteries will help to integrate renewable energy sources.
How much is energy storage in Poland?The EU recently approved €1.2 billion for energy storage Poland under the TCTF, as covered by Energy-Storage.news, and in mid-2023 approved amounts under the TCTF in Hungary and Slovenia.
