Once synchronised with the CEN system, the energy storage facilities will be able to store electricity generated by solar or wind power plants and feed it into the grid when needed. Lithuania aims to generate 70% of its electricity consumption by 2030, almost half of it from renewable sources.
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 ..
Lavastream plans to install a thermal power plant with a capacity of around 30 MW in Klaipėda and 15 MW in southwestern Lithuania by 2028, as well as a geothermal-geological long-range electricity storage system..
The energy storage system, which will ensure the operation of the instantaneous isolated electricity reserve for Lithuania before the synchronisation with the continental European networks (CEN), will be used for the integration of energy produced from renewable energy sources after the synchronisation.
