A battery energy storage system (BESS), battery storage power station, battery energy grid storage (BEGS) or battery grid storage is a type of energy storage technology that uses a group of batteries in the grid to store electrical energy. Battery storage is the fastest responding dispatchable source of power on electric grids, and it is used to stabilise those grids, as battery storage can transition fr

At the forefront of this revolution is our new battery manufacturing plant in Riga, Latvia. With a production capacity of 100 MWh annually, this facility is set to transform the landscape of
Not only are lithium-ion batteries widely used for consumer electronics and electric vehicles,but they also account for over 80% of the more than 190 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of battery energy
Imagine a windy night when turbines produce more energy than Liepaja''s grid can handle. Without storage, that power goes to waste. Lithium-ion and flow batteries now capture this
As we approach Q4 2025, industry watchers are keeping tabs on Latvia''s first gigafactory for battery cells. When operational, it''ll slash import costs by 60% and create 800+ skilled jobs.

The most recent update regarding BESS installations is that in Tume and Rēzekne, Latvia’s transmission system operator “Augstsprieguma tīkli” (AST) in June 2025 installed battery energy storage systems with a combined capacity of 80 MW and 160 MWh, which will undergo testing until October 2025.
In November 2024, Utilitas Wind Ltd inaugurated Latvia’s first storage battery system with a capacity of 10 MW and 20 MWh in Targale, next to the existing wind park.

Since 2010, more and more utility-scale battery storage plants rely on lithium-ion batteries, as a result of the fast decrease in the cost of this technology, caused by the electric automotive industry. Lithium-ion batteries are mainly used. A 4-hour flow vanadium redox battery at 175 MW / 700 MWh opened in 2024.
