NGEN Group

By acquiring SIA “Liepāja ESS”, Slovenian company NGEN Group enters Latvia to implement a stand-alone grid-connected battery energy storage project with a capacity of 100 MW and a storage capacity of 200 MWh in Grobiņa parish, Dienvidkurzeme region, at the Grobiņa substation. It will be the first energy storage station in the Baltics to use Tesla technologies.

The planned solution is intended as the first stand-alone battery energy storage project directly connected to the transmission system operator “Augstsprieguma tīkls”. Significantly, this project is built using the supply chains of NATO countries and their allies, including the main equipment being supplied from the USA. The project will strengthen the balancing capabilities, reliability and flexibility of the Latvian energy system, which is especially important after disconnection from the BRELL network in 2025.

"Latvia is an attractive market for the development of such solutions, thanks to orderly regulation and strong ambitions in the energy sector. The acquisition of Liepāja ESS is a logical next step in expanding our operations in Europe, demonstrating that storage strengthens system security and market efficiency," Roman Bernard, CEO of NGEN group.

The planned electricity storage station will expand the possibilities for balancing electricity capacity in Latvia and the Baltics, while simultaneously strengthening the country's energy security and technological resilience.
