The systems, each with a capacity of 30 MW/120 MWh (total 240 MWh), will be built at the Željezara site to improve electricity supply stability, integrate renewable energy faster, and boost energy independence.
[pdf] As capacity increases, the cost per unit of energy storage typically decreases due to reduced equipment and construction costs per kilowatt-hour. Prices of core equipment—including batteries, PCS, and monitoring systems—directly impact the overall investment.
