Swedish grid-side energy storage cabinet combination solution

What is the largest energy storage investment in the Nordics?

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.

How many energy storage facilities will Ingrid capacity build in Sweden?

Ingrid Capacity plans to build an additional 13 energy storage facilities in Sweden by the end of 2024, with a total capacity of 196 MW/196 MWh. By the second half of 2025, the company aims to have over 400 MW/400 MWh of flexible resources in the Swedish electricity grid.

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 can we capture the future Swedish power system?

To capture the future Swedish power system, the project develops system models with associated V-RES scenarios. It then proposes methods to manage the capacity challenges: On one hand coordinated battery energy storages at transmission level are controlled to act as Virtual Power Lines.

How can non-wire alternatives improve the capacity of Swedish power system?

This project aims to assess methods to increase the capacity of the Swedish power system using energy storage as well as enhanced control of generation and consumption. These Non-Wire Alternatives provide a potentially faster and more flexible approach than conventional network upgrades, which take 3-15 years to complete.

Why should Sweden invest in energy storage?

“Sweden faces increasing electricity demand, which must be addressed by expanding carbon-free energy production, strengthening energy grids, and improving energy storage capabilities. It is an honor to inaugurate the largest energy storage investment in the Nordic region.
