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.
Will Bess be able to deploy storage capacity across Baltic states?"Future projects will be carefully evaluated to strategically deploy storage capacities across the Baltic states in order to maximise the benefits for the security of supply and customers," the company added, giving a broad hint that it will also be looking to place BESS assets in Estonia and Lithuania.
Are new wind farms a good investment for Latvia's energy security?I am pleased that the bar has been set high for developers of new wind farms, which also plays an important role in the context of Latvia’s energy security,” said Climate and Energy Minister of Latvia, Kaspars Melnis. Given the total investment in the project, the OP Corporate Bank provided loan financing.
