The government of Estonia will financially back a 500MW pumped hydro energy storage project to meet the country''s need for long-duration energy storage, as the Baltics
The flagship battery storage project commenced operations on February 1, only days before cutting ties with the Russian power grid. Estonian state-owned energy company Eesti Energia has inaugurated the nation's largest battery energy storage facility at the Auvere industrial complex in Ida-Viru County.
In Estonia's electricity market, Eesti Energia is the largest seller with a 60% market share and owns the largest distribution network, representing 86% of the distribution market. The Estonian Competition Authority (ECA) regulates transmission and distribution rates, as well as connection charges. Electricity in 2020:
Estonia's all-time peak consumption is 1591 MW (in 2021). In 2021 the electricity generated from renewable energy sources was 29.3 %, being 38% of the share of renewable energy in gross final energy consumption. Oil-based fuels, including oil shale and fuel oils, accounted for about 80% of domestic production in 2016.
Eesti Energia and a consortium of private companies are also launching separate, large-scale pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) projects, though these would come online in the late 2020s. Energy-Storage.news' publisher Solar Media will host the 9th annual Energy Storage Summit EU in London, 20-21 February 2024.

Estonia's Auvere BESS project is designed to participate in both the electricity exchange and other energy markets to ensure the security of electricity supply. According to Eesti Energia board member Kristjan Kuhi, the battery is able to respond very effectively to fluctuations in the power system.
