Grid energy storage, also known as large-scale energy storage, is a set of technologies connected to the electrical power grid that store energy for later use. These systems help balance supply and demand by storing excess electricity from variable renewables such as solar and inflexible sources like nuclear power, releasing it when needed. They further provide essential grid se. Roles in the power gridAny must match electricity production to consumption, both of which vary significantly over time. Energy derived from and varies with the weather on time scales ranging from less th. . Electricity can be stored directly for a short time in capacitors, somewhat longer electrochemically in, and much longer chemically (e.g. hydrogen), mechanically (e.g. pumped hydropower) or as heat.

Croatia's first battery energy storage facility connected to the national transmission grid is taking shape near Šibenik, marking a significant step in modernising the country's energy infrastructure. . The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is providing a direct equity investment of up to €16. 8 million in IE‑Energy Projekt, a newly established joint‑stock company developing a greenfield battery energy storage system (BESS) and virtual power plant (VPP) in Šibenik, Croatia. The €60 million investment, co-financed by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. . Croatia is taking a major leap forward in its green energy transition, backed by a significant investment from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and other key partners.
