The Vilnius New Energy Storage Project involves the construction of Lithuania's largest battery energy storage system (BESS) with a capacity of 120MWh. This facility, being the first commercial battery storage site in Lithuania, is expected to increase the country's storage capacity by around 50% and is scheduled to become operational by the end of 20252. Additionally, this project is part of a broader initiative that includes four energy storage projects across Lithuania, which will enhance the power grid's functionality and synchronization with the EU power grid4. The Vilnius BESS is significant as it represents the largest private energy storage project in the country5. [pdf]
