What is the largest energy storage park in the Nordic region?

Romina Pourmokhtari, Sweden’s Minister for Climate and Environment, officially inaugurated the largest energy storage park in the Nordic region. The initiative, led by Ingrid Capacity in collaboration with BW ESS, consists of 14 large-scale energy storage systems with a total capacity of 211 MW/211 MWh.

How many battery-based energy storage systems are in the Nordics?

To date, more than 200 MW of battery-based energy storage systems are operational in the Nordics. In addition, recent announcements and projects under construction amount to more than 450 MW in Sweden and Finland combined, with the pipeline in Sweden accelerating and already accounting for more than two-thirds of the total.

What is the biggest investment in energy storage in the Nordics?

In comments at the ceremony, Pourmokhtari said, ‘It is a great honour to launch the largest investment in energy storage in the Nordics, with 211 MW of electricity currently connected to the grid. ‘Thanks to the efforts of Ingrid Capacity and BW ESS, we are reducing grid congestion and increasing power generation.’

How many large-scale energy storage systems are there in Sweden?

The initiative, led by Ingrid Capacity in collaboration with BW ESS, consists of 14 large-scale energy storage systems with a total capacity of 211 MW/211 MWh. This milestone investment represents a significant step toward Sweden’s goal of achieving a carbon-neutral energy system.

How many large-scale battery storage systems are there in Sweden?

14 large-scale battery storage systems (BESS) have come online in Sweden to deploy 211 MW / 211 MWh into the region. Developer and optimiser Ingrid Capacity and energy storage owner-operator BW ESS have been working in partnership to deliver 14 large-scale BESS projects throughout Sweden’s grid, situated in electricity price areas SE3 and SE4.

Why is battery-based energy storage important in the Nordics?

The region is striving to become Europe’s clean energy hub and is gaining leadership in the green transition of industry. Battery-based energy storage is a vital addition to the Nordics' energy system to integrate an even higher share of renewable energy from abundant wind and hydropower.
