Energy has an unlimited market\u2014everyone needs it, and demand is continuously growing. At the same time, domestic energy production is crucial from a national security standpoint. Adopting storage solutions is a logical next step for our solar parks, making their operations more efficient and stable. In terms of profitability, it is a very long-term project,\u201d Rahnel said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1185\" data-end=\"1734\">From a technical perspective, this undertaking is complex and time-sensitive, requiring careful planning and cooperation for successful implementation. \u201cWe have a long-standing partnership with Metsagrupp, and this project further reinforces our mutual trust. At the same time, it is an exciting challenge logistically and in terms of project management\u2014to perform installations across all of Estonia within a very short window. Efficiency and strong risk management are crucial here,\u201d emphasizes Smartecon Business Development Manager, Sten Pajula.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1736\" data-end=\"1929\">The collaboration between Metsagrupp and Smartecon illustrates how the private sector can help accelerate Estonia\u2019s transition to renewable energy and bolster the country\u2019s energy independence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1931\" data-end=\"2170\">Smartecon is one of the largest builders of energy solutions in the Baltics, focusing on constructing large-scale solar power plants. To date, it has established more than 200 MW of solar energy solutions in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Metsagrupp O\u00dc, a forest management company operating across Estonia, is expanding its renewable energy portfolio by upgrading 21 solar parks with battery storage solutions.
