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 a battery storage project a good investment in Finland?

It is a very good complement to our renewable project developments in Finland,” says Prot. Antero Reilander comments that while there have been other battery storage projects in Finland, this one is the biggest – by far. Despite the size of the undertaking, the project has proceeded very smoothly indeed.

Is Yllikkälä the biggest battery storage project in Europe?

“Yllikkälä is a key project for our company, being the largest of its kind for us in Europe. It is a very good complement to our renewable project developments in Finland,” says Prot. Antero Reilander comments that while there have been other battery storage projects in Finland, this one is the biggest – by far.
