Is energy storage a viable option in Finland?

This study reviews the status and prospects for energy storage activities in Finland. The adequacy of the reserve market products and balancing capacity in the Finnish energy system are also studied and discussed. The review shows that in recent years, there has been a notable increase in the deployment of energy storage solutions.

Which energy storage technologies are being commissioned in Finland?

Currently, utility-scale energy storage technologies that have been commissioned in Finland are limited to BESS (lithium-ion batteries) and TES, mainly TTES and Cavern Thermal Energy Storages (CTES) connected to DH systems.

Is this Finland's largest battery energy storage system?

Swedish flexible assets developer and optimizer Ingrid Capacity has joined hands with SEB Nordic Energy's portfolio company Locus Energy to develop what is claimed to be Finland's largest and one of the Nordics' largest battery energy storage systems (BESS). The 70 MW/140 MWh BESS project will be located in Nivala, northern Finland.

Is energy storage the future of wind power generation in Finland?

Wind power generation is estimated to grow substantially in the future in Finland. Energy storage may provide the flexibility needed in the energy transition. Reserve markets are currently driving the demand for energy storage systems. Legislative changes have improved prospects for some energy storages.

Is the energy system still working in Finland?

However, the energy system is still producing electricity to the national grid and DH to the Lempäälä area, while the BESSs participate in Fingrid's market for balancing the grid . Like the energy storage market, legislation related to energy storage is still developing in Finland.

What factors influence the development of energy storage activities in Finland?

Several parameters are influencing the development of energy storage activities in Finland, including increased VRES production capacities, prospects to import/export electricity, investment aid, legislation, the electricity and reserve markets and geographic circumstances.
