Central and Eastern European transmission system operators are managing significant changes in grid planning and storage integration. Recent geopolitical developments, evolving supply chain dynamics, and new EU manufacturing requirements are influencing how TSOs approach energy storage deployment and grid infrastructure development.
- How are TSOs addressing grid connection delays and implementing flexible connection agreements (FCAs) to accelerate storage deployment while maintaining system stability?
- What role does energy storage play in TSOs’ strategies for managing grid congestion, particularly in regions with high renewable penetration and limited interconnection capacity?
- How are cybersecurity requirements under NIS2 and concerns about foreign entities of concern influencing TSO procurement decisions and technology evaluation processes?
- What technical challenges are TSOs encountering with storage commissioning, particularly given limited operational experience with large-scale battery systems?
