European Energy has commissioned its first 25 MW/65 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in collaboration with Litgrid, Lithuania's electricity transmission system operator, at Anykščiai, Lithuania, where the facility is integrated with the company's existing 78.5 MW solar park to enhance grid flexibility and provide balancing services.
The Anykščiai project is integrated with European Energy’s 78.5 MW solar park at the same location, creating one of Lithuania’s first hybrid renewable energy facilities. The combination of solar generation and battery storage is expected to increase the flexibility of the electricity system and support the provision of balancing services. The Anykščiai solar park is one of the largest solar energy facilities in the Baltic region and the first solar park in Lithuania to participate in the system services market.
European Energy currently operates approximately 400 MW of renewable energy capacity in Lithuania and is developing a further portfolio of around 800 MW across solar, wind and energy storage projects. European Energy is also progressing with a second BESS project in Lithuania. The facility, located in Telšiai, is planned to have a capacity of approximately 12 MW and 50 MWh of storage and is expected to be connected to the grid in December 2026.
