120 members of the Seimas voted in favor of the reforms to the Electricity Law, one against and five deputies abstained.
The accumulators will now be used to provide an instantaneous reserve and, in the future, to balance wind power plants, which means that Lithuania will be able to work at “higher speeds” by increasing electricity generation and expanding wind power generation, especially offshore.
The Minister of Energy, Dainius Kreivys, affirmed that the purchase of storage facilities is one of the most important projects to achieve energy independence, and Vytautas Bakas, which belongs to the Joint Group of members of the Seimas, assured that the installation of the facilities storage “will cost a bit.” “but the benefits will be great.
“The alternative is what our country has once experienced, it is energy blackmail, it is uncertainty and this step is even decided at the level of various political parties,” said V. Bakas.
The social democrat Gintautas Paluckas described the purchase of accumulators as an innovative and important project.
“It will not only provide an uninterruptible power supply system in the event of an accident or political accident, but it is also quite an innovative project that will allow both our energy system and our science to develop energy tanks of a similar nature. Larger city and guarantee the efficiency and vegetation of the energy system, electricity supply system, ”he said.
Justinas Urbanavičius, chairman of the Energy and Sustainable Development Commission, believes that a 200-megawatt battery-powered energy storage system is a national security measure.
“Isolated from other systems, this is the only means (accumulators – BNS) to maintain the frequency of any interference from the system,” said the head of the commission.
The “worker” Artūras Skardžius complained that there are no profit costs of the project, and the batteries are bought with borrowed money, although they will later be transferred to the companies, and the “peasant” Valius Ąžuolas stated that the burden of storage will fall on consumers, D Kreivys denied: “This project will be financed with European money.”
The project will be funded by the European Union (EU). Batteries should be installed in the first half of next year.
At the end of January, the energy group Epso-G already announced a tender for the design, production, installation and maintenance of batteries.
In Lithuania, it is planned to install four units with a capacity of 50 MW and a capacity of 50 MWh in four transformer substations of 110-330 kV (Vilnius, Alytus, Šiauliai and Utena sites) within 14 months.
Epso-G has announced that the accumulators will be installed by Energy Cell, an Epso-G company created specifically for this project.
