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.
How will a new battery energy storage system help the Finnish grid?
After the start of commercial operations in , the project will contribute an important balancing function to the Finnish grid, supporting the Finnish renewable energy expansion. The groundbreaking ceremony took place in the afternoon on Monday the 26th of May on the site near Nivala where the battery energy storage system will be built.
Are energy storage systems a solution to Finland's energy transition?
Energy storage systems offer a solution. “This groundbreaking is an important moment for Finland’s energy transition and a concrete step toward a more flexible, resilient, and decarbonized energy system,” said Jussi Jyrinsalo, Senior Vice President at Fingrid.
When will the energy grid project start in Finland?
The project proponents have confirmed that the construction works will start in March . The project, which is one of the largest of its kind in Finland, will provide grid services including frequency response and will be able to participate in energy trading on wholesale power markets.
What is the Nivala battery energy storage system?
The Nivala battery energy storage system marks the second collaboration project between Locus Energy and Ingrid Capacity.
How many Sungrow powertitan batteries will be installed?
The first phase will install 24 Sungrow PowerTitan battery arrays, offering 60 MWh capacity. The site is located near the Fingrid Simojoki substation in Lapland, just 100 km below the Arctic Circle. A second phase is under discussion, potentially expanding the project’s capacity to 200 MWh.
