The battery park will be called the Baltic Storage Platform, in which Evecon will have a 20 percent stake and Corsica Sole will have 80 percent stake. Climate Minister Kristen Michal (Reform) said that the emergence of reserve and storage capacities in Estonia is good news and it is particularly welcome that it is being done by private companies.
In 2014 Estonia's primary energy production exceeded 244 thousand TJ with over 77 percent produced from shale oil and 18 percent from wood. Estonia energy demand is satisfied through domestic production (70 percent) and imported supplies, mainly natural gas and both gasoline and diesel oil (30 percent).
Eesti Energia was unable to secure a contract for a large-scale energy storage facility through an international tender. It is expected that it would have a capacity ranging from 25 to 50 megawatt-hours that sufficiently meets the reserve needs of the Baltic countries.
