What is the largest 'private' Bess project in Lithuania?

IPP E energija Group has started building what it claims is the largest ‘private’ BESS project in Lithuania, a few weeks after the Baltic region decoupled from Russia’s electricity grid. The 120MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) project near Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, will come online by the end of 2025.

Which power plant provides energy storage in Lithuania?

Kruonis Pumped Storage Plant provides energy storage, averaging electrical demand throughout the day. The pumped storage plant has a capacity of 900 MW (4 units, 225 MW each). Kaunas Hydroelectric Power Plant has 100 MW of capacity and supplies about 3% of the electrical demand in Lithuania.

How much does the EU spend on energy storage in Lithuania?

In late 2024, the EU approved a €180 million (US$188 million) support package for over 1.2GWh energy storage in Lithuania, covering a maximum of 30% of the projects’ capital expenditure costs via a competition auction set to conclude before the end of 2025.

How much electricity does Lithuania use?

“Although the average electricity consumption in Lithuania is around 1,500 megawatts, the installed capacity of both solar and wind power plants is expected to exceed 2,000 megawatts in 2025, enabling surplus electricity to be stored and supplied to consumers during peak hours”, said Gediminas Uloza, CEO of E energija Group.
