Nidec Conversion & Rolls-Royce on Lithuania BESS Project team
Why It Matters for ITAD
This massive deployment signals a significant future influx of large-scale industrial battery waste into the recycling stream. ITAD and recycling firms must prepare now for the specialized handling, safety protocols, and processing capacity required for end-of-life grid-scale batteries. It highlights the growing importance of battery recycling expertise within the broader e-waste sector.
Nidec Conversion and Rolls-Royce have taken central roles in one of Lithuania’s largest battery energy storage developments for Ignitis Group’s 291 MW/582 MWh BESS programme. The project spans three key sites and is expected to be fully operational by 2027. It is one of the largest energy storage deployments in the Baltic region and forms a cornerstone…
Key Takeaways
- • Prepare for increased volume of large-format battery waste from energy storage projects.
- • Develop specialized capabilities and safety procedures for industrial battery recycling/disposal.
- • Monitor evolving regulations (EU Battery Regulation) for handling and recycling large-scale BESS units.
