2026. Energy is essential in our daily lives to increase human development, which leads to economic growth and productivity. In recent national development plans and policies,
SEB Nordic Energy''s portfolio company Locus Energy, in collaboration with Ingrid Capacity, proudly announces the groundbreaking of one of Finland''s largest battery energy storage system (BESS) in Nivala
As Finland''s energy transition accelerates, one thing''s clear: the country isn''t just building storage projects – it''s engineering the template for cold-climate renewable integration worldwide.
If you''re like most solar shoppers, you''re considering an energy storage system primarily for resilience: as a source of backup power during outages. Standalone storage may be able to help provide backup power but
By 2030, the global energy storage market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21%, with installed capacity expected to reach 137 GW (442 GWh). The rising focus
The need for BESS is exceptionally high in Finland because the country has set one of the world''s most aggressive climate targets. The government has a legal obligation to reach carbon neutrality by 2035. Renewable energy sources

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
France-based private investment house Ardian, alongside its sustainable energy platform eNordic, has taken the final investment decision (FID) on a 30-MW/30-MWh battery
The revenue stack has recovered in Q2 – Q3 with gas prices & weather normalisation, but the recovery has been more muted than in Germany. This in part reflects greater BESS capacity on the system as well as a less
Our analysis of the economics of future standalone battery storage deployments suggests that combining revenue streams from different applications is important when evaluating future
Battery storage. In 2025, capacity growth from battery storage could set a record as we expect 18.2 GW of utility-scale battery storage to be added to the grid. U.S. battery storage already

The battery storage facility, with a power output of 30 megawatts (MW) and a capacity of 60 megawatt-hours (MWh), is Winda Energy''s first energy storage project.
Executive Summary In this work we describe the development of cost and performance projections for utility-scale lithium-ion battery systems, with a focus on 4-hour duration
Project development begins this summer and construction in autumn next year, with the massive system expected to be online during 2026. The project, called Vantaa Energy Cavern Thermal Energy Storage
EDP Renewables has started the construction of its first stand-alone battery energy storage (BESS) project in Europe, a milestone that materializes the companys ambition to continue building a multi-technology
The Spanish government will allocate 280 million euros ($310 million) for stand-alone energy storage, thermal storage and reversible pumped hydro storage projects, which are due to come online in 2026.Last month,
To assess the impacts of these developments on investment and deal flow, the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE) surveyed companies that actively develop or finance U.S.
The project aims to investigate the potential of different energy storage technologies in Finland. These should be able to store electrical energy and use it to produce electricity, heat, or
Lessons Learned from Emerging Economies The Supercharging Battery Storage Initiative would like to thank all authors and organizations for their submissions to support this publication. This
SEB Nordic Energy’s portfolio company, Locus Energy, in collaboration with Ingrid Capacity, will build the largest battery energy storage project in the Nordics. The project will add 70 MW/140 MWh of storage capacity to SEB Nordic Energy’s Finnish portfolio, which already includes wind and hydropower.
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.
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.
Water TTESs found in Finland are listed in Table 7. The total storage capacity of the TTES in operation is about 11.4 GWh, and the storage capacity of the TTES under planning is about 4.2 GWh. Table 7. Water tank thermal energy storages in Finland. The Pori TTES will be used for both heat and cold storage.
In conclusion, these studies indicate that high VRES shares in the Finnish energy system are possible, but require measures such as energy storage and demand response for their successful integration. 3.
The Finnish TSO, Fingrid, is continuously taking measures to respond to the fast-growing number of renewable installations. The power system is getting more complicated both from a technical and commercial perspective, with many large changes occurring simultaneously both in electricity production and consumption.
