“It is a great honor to inaugurate the largest energy storage investment in the Nordics, with 211 MW now connected to the power grid. “Thanks to the efforts of Ingrid Capacity and BW ESS, we are reducing grid congestion and enabling increased power production.”
Sweden’s largest energy storage investment, totaling 211 MW, goes live, combining 14 sites. 14 large-scale battery storage systems (BESS) have come online in Sweden to deploy 211 MW / 211 MWh into the region.
Fourteen large battery storage systems (BESS) have come online in Sweden, deploying 211 MW/211 MWh for the region. Developer and optimiser Ingrid Capacity and storage owner-operator BW ESS have been working together to deliver 14 large BESS projects across the Swedish grid in tariff zones SE3 and SE4.
For Ingrid, the goal is to collectively have more than 400 MW/400 MWh of flexible dispatch assets in Sweden, while expanding further into Europe, claiming a total development pipeline of 6+ GW. The title of ‘Nordic Biggest’ is an interesting goal for an ESS company. Deciding which project is the largest may depend on the definition.
At the time, Sweden's Minister of Climate and Environment, Romina Pourmokhtari, was responsible for overseeing the grid connection. 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.
SEB Nordic Energy makes direct investments in renewable energy infrastructure assets in the Nordic region. The fund is investing in small-scale hydropower, wind power, solar energy and geothermal energy, both through new construction and upgrading of existing facilities to increase efficiency and energy production.
