📰 Featured in Verslo žinios – how small-scale commercial battery storage systems became one virtual power plant.

 

Lithuanian industry is rapidly investing in battery energy storage systems (BESS), but for most of the day, these systems remain underutilised. The reason is simple: an individual 100–500 kW battery storage system cannot participate in the Litgrid balancing market, where the minimum bid size is 1 MW.

⚡ Enerheads was the first company in Lithuania to overcome this barrier by connecting the battery storage systems of six businesses into a single virtual power plant (VPP). During the first month of commercial operation, clients earned a total of €12,439 from mFRR services alone.

The article also covers the completion of an investment round with a Dutch investor, a portfolio of 77.9 MW in signed contracts, the launch of aFRR services scheduled for November, the first 10 MW and 60 MW battery storage parks, and expansion plans in Poland, Bulgaria, Romania and Ukraine.
