Technical FAQs 4

Where is the first battery energy storage system in Latvia?

On November 1 Latvia’s largest wind energy producer Utilitas Wind opened the first utility-scale battery energy storage battery system in Latvia with a total power of 10 MW and capacity of 20 MWh in Targale, Ventspils region.

What is a battery energy storage system (BESS)?

BESS, or Battery Energy Storage System, is a technology that allows electricity to be stored with the objective of feeding it back into the grid at times of peak demand. The stored energy helps to balance electricity supply and demand, while ensuring the stability of frequency.

Is battery energy storage system (BESS) a growing demand?

A growing demand in the energy market for battery energy storage system (BESS) technologies is developing currently, and the trend is expected to remain stable in the future.

Where are Bess projects being implemented?

The first BESS projects are being implemented in Latvia and at Latvenergo production sites – starting with the smaller-scale BESS at Latvenergo AS CHPP-1 and continuing with larger storage solutions, including at Riga HPP and Latvenergo AS CHPP-2. The procurement and selection of suppliers for the latter projects is currently in progress.
