The most powerful battery park complex in mainland Europe.
High-performance storage batteries help ensure energy independence.
The production of renewable energy has grown rapidly, and energy storage has become a strategic challenge in all European Union countries to ensure energy independence and help stabilize the power grid by balancing production and consumption. The jointly operated venture by Evecon, Corsica Sole and Mirova, managed by the Baltic Storage Platform, consisting of a 400 MWh battery park complex, will help ensure the synchronisation of the Baltic countries to the European grid in 2025.
The battery park complex, set to launch in the last quarter of 2025, will assist in regulating the grid frequency. In the event of an increase or decrease in grid frequency, the batteries will quickly either store or produce electricity to balance the impact of the change. This technology enables the provision of various regulation services to the system.
What it does?
- Provides fast power response to instant balancing needs : 0 to 100 % in a matter of seconds
- Provides energy reserve to deal with renewable power fluctuations
- Available 24/7
- Instant equivalent power of 90 000 households
- The available discharging power could supply more roughly 300 000 microwave ovens
- The amount of stored energy equals more than 7 millions iPhone batteries
When?
- First battery park complex will come online in 2025, Q4.
- Construction started in summer 2024 for first project, and Q2 2025 for second project.
- Batteries delivered 2025 Q2 for first battery park complex.
- Power transformers delivered 2025 Q2 for first battery park complex.
How big?
- 2 times 100 MW/200 MWh Equiv. 4x the current system in Belgium
- But reasonable footprint: 25 000 m2 each (3 football fields)
