Where is Eesti Energia's battery energy storage system located?

Eesti Energia officially inaugurated the 26.5MW/53.1MWh battery energy storage system last week (26 March), located at the Auvere industrial power plant complex in Ida-Virumaa. However, the project has been online since 1 February, in time for the Baltic region’s decoupling from the Russian grid a week later.

Is Eesti Energia the biggest Bess in Estonia?

Eesti’s first procurement failed, with the second successfully completed in January 2024. Eesti Energia said the BESS will enhance grid stability and reduce costs for consumers by participating in all available electricity markets. The company claimed that not only is it the biggest BESS in Estonia, but also in the whole Baltic region.
