European Commission backs Lithuanian green transition efforts

The European Commission has agreed to a €180 million Lithuanian scheme to support electricity storage to promote the transition towards a net-zero economy, in line with the Green Deal Industrial Plan.

EU approves €180m for 1.2GWh energy storage rollout in Lithuania

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 Energy System Transformation

Lithuania Final energy demand decrease from 93 to 75 TWh Trends: Oil is phased-out in favour of electricity, biomass and hydrogen. Significant increase in electricity and hydrogen use simultaneously improve energy efficiency. Hydrogen demand kicks-off in 2030, and further increases in 2040 in response to low electricity price periods.

Lithuania storage-as-transmission ''can be example to others''

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 .

6 FAQs about [Energy storage demand Lithuania]

Which power plant provides energy storage in Lithuania?

Why is electricity storage important in Lithuania?

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.

Who manages Lithuania's electricity storage facilities?

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.

How will Lithuania's energy storage system work?

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.

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.

When will Lithuanian power plants start supplying power?

Lithuanian power plants currently operating in the IPS/UPS system can start supplying power within 15 minutes. 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.
