Tracking Nordic Clean Energy Progress
The Nordic region benefits from large hydro reservoirs that provide excellent and cost-effective energy storage options, which are already being efficiently utilised.
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.'
The title of 'biggest in the Nordics' is a fun one to aim at for ESS companies. And deciding which project is biggest can depend on the definition. For example, Neoen claimed it would hold the record in January, when it announced a 93.9 MW / 93.9 MWh project in Sweden at the Isbillen Power Reserve, on January 30.
The connection to the grid was overseen at the time by the Swedish minister for climate and the environment, Romina Pourmokhtari. Among her comments at the ceremony, Pourmokhtari said: “It is a great honor to inaugurate the largest energy storage investment in the Nordics, with 211 MW now connected to the power grid.
Vantaa Energy in Finland started the construction of the largest underground thermal energy storage in the world. It will have a volume of 1.1 million m3 and capacity of 90 GWh, approximately 5% of Vantaa's annual DH demand.
