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 Municipality, Northern Ostrobothnia. After the start of commercial operations in 2026, the. 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.
What makes Finland's power system stable?Finland’s power system stability has traditionally been supplied by conventional power plants and hydropower. However, the transformation in the power generation mix creates a greater need for other sources of flexibility. BESS are excellent alternatives because of their capability to charge and discharge energy.
Why does Finland need Bess?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 account for over 50% of electricity production, and several renewable projects are being planned or developed.
