6 FAQs about [Lithuania large-scale energy storage project bidding]
What is Lithuania's electricity storage project?
The electricity storage project will guarantee security and stability of energy supply in Lithuania. It will also enable Lithuania to disconnect from the Russian controlled electricity grid and synchronize with the continental European electricity grid.
Which energy storage facilities will provide Lithuania with instantaneous electricity reserve?
The Government of the Republic of Lithuania appointed Energy cells as the operator of the storage facilities that will provide Lithuania with an instantaneous electricity reserve. Energy cells signed a contract with the winning Siemens Energy and Fluence consortium. Energy storage facilities system design works were started.
How many battery storage projects are there in Lithuania?
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.
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.
Will Lithuania's energy grid synchronise with the EU?
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.
