Montenegro’s state-owned power utility, EPCG, has initiated the preparation of a feasibility study and project design for the procurement of battery energy storage systems (BESS) with a total capacity ranging from 240 to 300 MWh.Is Montenegro launching its first battery energy storage tender?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.
Will EPCG deliver 185 MWh of battery energy storage 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.
Will Kapino Polje install a 5 MW battery energy storage system?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.
Will EPCG supply 300 MWh of battery systems?“By the end of the current year, EPCG will open a public call for the supply of 300 MWh of battery systems,” Milutin Djukanovic, chairman of the EPCG Board of Directors, said last Thursday. In September, EPCG said it was is looking to deliver 185 MWh of battery energy storage capacity across four locations.
How much power does EPCG have?EPCG has 874 MW of installed generation capacity, with 649 MW coming from two big hydro power plants, Perucica and Piva. It also operates the 225 MW TE Pljevlja, the country’s sole thermal power pla
