How Will Montenegro''s New Battery Systems Boost Energy Grid?
EPCG has launched a comprehensive tender for the development of two battery energy storage systems, boasting a combined capacity of 60 MW and 240 MWh. This
Montenegro's Elektroprivreda Crne Gore (EPCG) has upped the ante for its first battery energy storage tender. In a pioneering move for state-owned utilities in the Balkans, Montenegro's largest power utility, EPCG, is planning to launch a large-scale, battery energy storage procurement exercise by the end of 2024.
The utility has also decided to install a 5 MWh battery energy storage system alongside its proposed Kapino Polje solar power plant, which would have 5 MW of installed capacity.
In September, EPCG said it was is looking to deliver 185 MWh of battery energy storage capacity across four locations. Its stated goal was to use the existing infrastructure for connection to the grid.
It also operates the 225 MW TE Pljevlja, the country's sole thermal power plant. The utility also has several small hydropower plants and is developing a number of renewable energy projects, including Komarnica hydroelectric power plant (172 MW), WF Gvozd wind power plant (54.6 MW) and SP Briska Gora solar power plant (250 MW).
