Montenegro: EPCG launches development of battery energy storage system

Elektroprivreda Crne Gore (EPCG), the largest electricity producer in Montenegro, has taken a significant step towards enhancing energy sustainability by adopting the Project Task for Battery Electro-Storage Systems (BESS). This project aims to support the country’s transition to renewable energy by providing a solution for storing excess energy generated from renewable sources. EPCG’s initiative focuses on optimizing the use of renewable energy sources, reducing dependency on fossil fuels, and improving energy system flexibility.

The next phase involves a public call for a Feasibility Study and conceptual solution, key for determining the optimal locations and strategies for the implementation of BESS. The battery systems, based on lithium-ion technology, will store surplus electricity generated from renewable sources like solar and wind. This will be crucial for stabilizing the power grid and improving energy efficiency.

The identified locations for the deployment of these storage systems include the Hydroelectric Power Plant (HPP) Perućica, EPCG Željezara Nikšić, and the Thermal Power Plant (TPP) Pljevlja. Additionally, a BESS with a capacity of five megawatt hours (MWh) will be installed at the Solar Power Plant (SPP) Kapino Polje, which has a generation capacity of five megawatts (MW).

This project aligns with global trends in sustainable energy development and reducing carbon emissions. By integrating battery storage systems, EPCG aims to reduce electricity production and distribution costs, benefiting both the company and consumers in the long term. Through this initiative, EPCG hopes to become a leader in Montenegro’s green energy transition, contributing to energy system stability, cost reduction, and broader societal benefits.
