At the end of July 2021, the Government of the Republic of Lithuania appointed Energy cells, a company of the EPSO-G Group, as the operator of the instantaneous isolated operation electricity reserve for Lithuania’s electricity storage facilities and entrusted it with the management of the electricity storage facilities system.
The total electrical capacity of the power plant will be about100 MW and the thermal capacity will be about 240 MW. Vilnius combined heat and power plant has been planned taking into account the heat demand in the capital and the situation in the waste and biofuel market.
Testing has started on four battery storage projects in Lithuania totalling 200MW/200MWh provided by system integrator Fluence, with a view to turning the projects online in a few months. Construction began on the four projects connected to substations in Šiauliai, Alytus, Utena and Vilnius in June last year, as reported by Energy-Storage.news.
Lithuania’s system of electricity storage facilities is essential to ensure the security of Lithuania’s energy system and its ability to operate in isolated mode.
The energy storage system, which will provide Lithuania with an instantaneous isolated operation electricity reserve until synchronisation with the continental European networks (CEN), will be used after synchronisation for the integration of energy produced from renewable sources.
They will enable the country’s electricity grid to run in islanded mode as well as synchronise with the EU grid as Lithuania seeks to disconnect from the Russian energy system, a move which pre-dates the latter’s invasion of Ukraine in early 2022.
