Solarplaza Summit | Baltics

This opening session bridges the gap between global market shifts and the regional reality. Join Dr. Johan Lindahl as he presents the latest data and insights on global, EU, and Baltic/Nordic PV market developments. We’ll explore the "Road Ahead" for the Baltics, focusing on how the region can capitalize on emerging trends to move from ambitious targets to massive-scale deployment.  

Hybrid parks that combine battery storage with solar or wind production are transforming how renewable assets operate and trade. They represent the next major step in the evolution of the energy market, where flexibility and optimization drive both performance and profitability.

This case study explores the real-world experience of operating a utility‑scale battery  in the Baltics, highlighting both the technical and commercial realities of day‑to‑day operations. It examines how market design, regulatory frameworks, and grid conditions shape operational strategy and project performance. Attendees will gain practical insights into what it truly takes to run a large‑scale BESS asset in a fast‑evolving regional energy landscape.

This presentation provides a hands-on framework for navigating regulatory, financial, and technical hurdles, equipping developers with the tools to successfully bring projects from concept to operation.

As the Baltics enter a new era of grid constraints, curtailment risk, and market volatility, flexibility is becoming a critical requirement for developing and financing utility-scale renewable projects. This session will explore how utilities and IPPs can strengthen grid integration and improve project bankability by adopting unified, integrated control architectures, combining on-site Power Plant Controllers (PPC), Energy Management Systems (EMS), and battery optimization, to deliver measurable flexibility for both new and existing power plants.

Maximizing the lifespan of battery assets is critical to ensuring strong financial returns in renewable energy projects. This presentation will explore the technical, operational, and strategic measures that asset owners can adopt to extend battery performance while safeguarding profitability.

Developers and asset owners face new challenges in ensuring BESS projects are delivered on time, on budget, and with long-term reliability. This session highlights common pitfalls in the development and construction phases—and how to avoid them to secure project success.
