The first commercial energy storage systems will be installed in
The management solution planned for Vilnius BESS, NordNest, was developed by the Lithuanian battery system integration company Nord Energija, and will also use equipment
The Vilnius BESS is scheduled to become operational by the end of 2025. Partners in the project include Power Electronics and CATL - Contemporary Amperex Technology Co Limited, which will supply the energy storage equipment, and local BESS integrator Nord energija, which will provide its proprietary NordNest smart energy management system (EMS).
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.
Local system integrator will supply the energy storage solution, using battery units from CATL, power conversion systems (PCS) from Power Electronics, and its own proprietary energy management system (EMS), NordNest.
“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”, E energija group's CEO Gediminas Uloza noted in a social media post.
