Factual brief: EVN updated progress on grid-scale BESS rollout, including survey/pilot steps at EVNNPC and EVNHANOI, aligned with revised PDP8 direction.
On 7 Apr 2026, EVN held a working session with its power corporations and related units to review progress on deploying battery energy storage systems (BESS) on the grid.
This brief is compiled from the cited source.
According to the published information, EVN views BESS as an important operational solution, especially under peak-load pressure and the need for greater grid flexibility.
The meeting update listed practical tasks: EVNNPC reviewed deployment potential at 110kV substations; EVNHANOI is implementing pilot steps at selected substations; and transmission units are preparing initial investment procedures.
The report also referenced revised PDP8 storage direction toward 2030 and EVN's proposal to further refine mechanisms/policies for broader deployment in subsequent phases.
