Just one day before disconnecting from the Russian power grid on Feb. 8, Lithuania launched a major energy storage procurement initiative aimed at reinforcing grid stability and accelerating the energy transition..

The Ministry of Energy allocated €102 million ($119 million) to support the development of at least 800 MWh of energy storage systems directly connected to the transmission network by the end of 2028.
