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.
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.
With an investment of €6 million, AJ Power Corporate Group has installed battery energy storage systems (BESS) at three of its large-scale solar parks in Valmiera, Aizkraukle, and Ilūkste. These systems will be integrated into the national power grid and are set to begin operation in the coming.
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. This autumn, the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) will be connected.
Latvia state-owned utility and power generation firm Latvenergo intends to deploy 250MW/500MWh of BESS in the next five years. Latvenergo said it will build the battery energy storage system (BESS) projects in response to increasing demand for flexibility and to synergise with its hydropower.
Hydroelectric power is the main source of renewable electricity in Latvia, followed by solar, wind and biomass cogeneration plants. In 2024, solar power in Latvia grew over 3.1 times to 6.7% of total electricity, becoming the third-largest source, while wind reached a record 38 GWh and hydropower.
Therefore, in the generation portfolio of Latvenergo, alongside hydro power plants (installed capacity ~1550 MW), combined heat and power plants (~1050 MW) and solar and wind capacities under development, we planned to build a BESS which will ensure synergy with the generation and sales portfolio.
