European Energy has finished building a 65 MWh battery storage system at the 78.5 MW Anykščiai solar park in Lithuania, with operations set to begin in February 2026.
The project marks the company's first battery installation in the Baltics. By pairing storage with the existing solar plant, Anykščiai becomes a hybrid facility that can generate power and store it for later use. This will allow the site to store excess production, provide grid balancing services, and boost system reliability.
The Anykščiai solar park is already fully operational and ranks among the Baltic region's largest solar projects. It was also Lithuania's first solar plant connected to the electricity balancing market. Once the battery goes live, the facility will offer additional grid flexibility services.
Lithuania has seen rapid renewable energy growth over the past five years, particularly in solar and wind. As variable generation expands, energy storage solutions are becoming crucial for maintaining grid stability.
"Flexibility solutions are essential as renewables continue growing in Lithuania," said Tadeušas Konkovskis, Vice President and Head of the Baltic region at European Energy. "Energy storage helps manage variability, supports stable grid operation, and enables efficient renewable integration."
The battery project is part of European Energy's broader Lithuanian operations, which include new project development, asset upgrades, and portfolio management through partnerships and deals.
European Energy currently operates around 380 MW of renewable capacity in Lithuania and is developing another 800 MW across solar, wind, and storage projects.
