The 70 MW/140 MWh BESS project will be located in Nivala, northern Finland. Set to go online in 2026, the facility will enhance grid stability, energy resilience and accelerate green electrification. The project marks Ingrid Capacity''s first two-hour system and its
Finland has initiated the construction of an underground thermal energy storage facility, located 100 meters beneath the surface, capable of supplying energy to a city of medium size.
Finland''s energy storage market is expanding, thanks largely to increasing renewable energy sources, plus regulatory adaptation being made by Fingrid, the transmission operator in the country.
Why Finland''s Energy Storage Scene Is Heating Up (Literally) when you think of global energy storage leaders, Finland might not be the first country that springs to mind. But hold onto your mittens, because this Nordic nation is quietly building a
Based in Tampere, Polar Night Energy Oy has developed a sand-based thermal energy storage system that efficiently stores heat generated from renewable energy while minimizing costs.
A review of the current status of energy storage in Fi This is an electronic reprint of the original article. This reprint may differ from the original in pagination and typographic detail.
The energy storage facility delivered by Merus Power to Lappeenranta, Finland, has been completed and put into market use on 15 May 2025. The energy storage facility is owned by a joint venture between Ardian''s Clean Energy Evergreen Fund and the local energy provider Lappeenrannan Energia.
This paper has provided a comprehensive review of the current status and developments of energy storage in Finland, and this information could prove useful in future modeling studies of the Finnish energy system that incorporate energy storages.
Based in Tampere, Polar Night Energy Oy has developed a sand-based thermal energy storage system that efficiently stores heat generated from renewable energy while minimizing costs.
You know, when people talk about European energy storage, Germany and Sweden usually steal the spotlight. But here''s the thing - Finland''s quietly been building a world-class battery ecosystem that''s sort of redefining grid resilience.
The predominant electrical energy storage (in terms of energy capacity) built by 2040 in Finland will be battery installations. In the second place are hydrogen technologies.
This paper has provided a comprehensive review of the current status and developments of energy storage in Finland, and this information could prove useful in future modeling studies of the Finnish energy system that incorporate energy storages.
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.
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.
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.
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.
This development forebodes a significant transition in the Finnish energy system, requiring new flexibility mechanisms to cope with this large share of generation from variable renewable energy sources. Energy storage is one solution that can provide this flexibility and is therefore expected to grow.
