Solar energy system (SES) 3 MW + Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) 5 MWh

An investment opportunity in the Baltic renewable energy sector: a 3 MW solar power plant combined with a 5 MWh battery storage system on a 4.2 ha plot. Several industrial electricity consumers, including manufacturing plants and logistics warehouses, are located nearby.

About the project

Green energy in an industrial hub

“STROIPERLIT-RIGA” Ltd (SIA) is developing a 3 MW solar park on a 4.2 ha plot next to the Knauf factory in Salaspils parish. The project combines solar generation with battery storage, delivering a stable and predictable energy source.

✓2.5 MW grid capacity. Connection to AS “Sadales tīkls” without building or rebuilding any existing transformers.
✓Public support options. The project’s eligibility for state and EU support instruments will be assessed separately; no support has been granted.
✓Low-carbon supply. Locally generated renewable electricity for nearby industrial consumers and the energy system.

Revenue model

Three complementary revenue streams

The solar + BESS combination generates income not only from produced energy, but also from energy trading and grid-balancing services.

☀️

Solar energy sales

Sale of electricity produced by the solar panels to the grid or, by agreement, to a direct consumer — a base revenue source.

🔋

Battery arbitrage

Storing energy during low-price hours and selling it during high-price hours, capturing market price spreads.

⚡

Grid balancing

Possible participation in balancing services, subject to market prequalification.

Financial information

Financial figures being updated

A 3 MWp solar plant with a 2.5 MW connection to the AS “Sadales tīkls” grid, and a 2.5 MW / 5 MWh battery system in design, to be connected at the same grid connection point. Total export capacity 2.5 MW. The financial model is being updated to reflect the refined grid connection terms; detailed calculations are available to interested investors on request.

Site plan

Layout and development potential

Simplified site plan. The solar and BESS installations use part of the site; the remaining ~2 ha allow further development in directions that need cheap electricity — a data centre or hydrogen production.

Technical data

Number of modules4,304
PV power (DC)3,077 kW
Module size2384 × 1303 mm
Tracker configuration98×40 · 12×32 PV
OrientationEast–West

Free development zone (~2 ha)

The solar and BESS installations do not use the whole 4.2 ha site — about 2 ha remain free. They can host industrial development projects that need cheap, locally generated electricity, for example:

  • Data centre
  • Hydrogen production (electrolysis)
  • Other energy-intensive facilities
Project status

Where the project stands today

Technical design

SES technical design approved, SES building permit obtained

SES grid connection built and commissioned

SES connection to AS “Sadales tīkls” built and commissioned

BESS design and SES design changes (current)

The BESS and its connection at the existing SES grid connection point are being designed; the SES technical design is being amended to add the BESS part

Financing or sale

Open to several deal structures: equity investment, a loan to implement the project, or sale of the project as is

Construction

Building the park and commissioning; SES and BESS construction may take place simultaneously

Frequently asked questions

SES and BESS in brief

What is BESS?

BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) is a battery system that stores electricity and returns it to the grid when needed. In the Ļipiņas project it is 5 MWh capacity with 2.5 MW power.

What is SES?

SES (solar energy system) is a solar panel power plant that generates electricity from sunlight. In the Ļipiņas project it is 3 MW.

How does a solar + BESS park work?

Solar panels generate electricity that can be sold to the grid or stored in batteries. The BESS stores energy during low-price hours and releases it during high-price hours, and may also provide grid-balancing services.

Why combine solar panels with batteries?

The combination can generate income from three streams — energy sales, price arbitrage and grid balancing — diversifying revenue and reducing dependence on a single source.

Where is the Ļipiņas project located?

In Salaspils parish, Salaspils county, on two land plots — “Ļipiņas” and “Ļipiņas 1”.
