EVN has already made significant progress in implementing the battery
storage strategy which was presented in December 2025 as part of the
Strategy 2030. It aims to install a battery storage capacity totalling
300 MW by 2030 and unlock additional business opportunities through the
flexibility management of EVN’s own renewable electricity generation.
In Probishtip, North Macedonia, EVN recently reached an important
milestone with the commissioning of the country’s largest battery storage
system. Installed capacity of 10 MW and storage capacity of 20 MWh also
make it EVN’s largest project of this type to date. However, the
development of the location is still not complete: The next expansion
phase is expected to double the storage capacity to 40 MWh. This project
underscores EVN’s ambitious expansion plans and its leading role for
innovative energy storage solutions in its core markets.
The commissioning of the storage facility in North Macedonia increased
EVN’s large battery capacity to 22 MW. Expansion projects are also
continuing in Lower Austria: Large battery storage facilities with a
capacity of 70 MW and 16 MW, respectively, are currently under
construction at the existing Theiss and Dürnrohr power plant locations. In
line with the strategy to transform existing power plant sites into
modern, multi-functional energy hubs, co-location storage will be built at
existing photovoltaic and wind park locations. Such storage with a
capacity of 3.4 MW is already in operation at the super-hybrid park in
Trumau.
The temporary storage of surplus electricity enables the generated energy
to be marketed at an optimal time on the day-ahead or intraday markets.
This increases the value creation from EVN’s own electricity generation
and establishes the operation of large-scale battery storage facilities as
an independent, economically attractive business model. At the same time,
flexibility management makes a significant contribution to network
stability.
The software used for flexibility management was developed in-house by
CyberGrid, a company specialised in energy management solutions which was
acquired by EVN as a start-up several years ago and has since successfully
been integrated in the group. This combination of battery storage
infrastructure and proprietary software supports the development of value
creation potential along the entire flexibility chain and strengthens
EVN’s position in the increasingly decentralised energy market.
As part of its Strategy 2030, EVN is investing EUR 1 bn annually in the
transformation of the energy system. The expansion of storage technologies
represents an integral part of this strategy and supports the continuous
expansion and further flexibilization of renewable electricity generation.
Other investment focal points for EVN include, in particular, the
expansion and digitalisation of the network infrastructure and the
expansion of the e-charging infrastructure.
The progress achieved to date positions EVN well to realise its battery
storage expansion plans on schedule and develop new earnings
opportunities.
