The benefits of swedish watt energy storage

Why are we building Sweden's largest battery energy Storge solution?

If we are to transition to a more sustainable society, we must try to ensure that the electricity flow in the network is stable. This is why we are now building Sweden’s largest Battery Energy Storge Solution (BESS) of 10 MW, which will be located in Grums, in western Sweden.

Which Swedish energy storages are being built in 2024?

13 February 2024 SWEDEN – The energy storages are being built in Falköping (16 MW), Karlskrona (16 MW), Katrineholm (20 MW), Mjölby (8 MW), Sandviken (20 MW), Vaggeryd (11 MW), Värnamo (20 MW) and Västerås (11 MW). A storage with a power of 20 MW correlates to what a Swedish town with 40,000 inhabitants on average consumes during peak hours.

What is a battery energy Storge solution?

The first investment is Sweden's largest Battery Energy Storge Solution (BESS) that enables more renewable energy in the electricity system and a better electricity network balance. Electricity is a prerequisite for societal development and achieving climate policy goals.

How many MW of energy is being built in Sweden?

An output of more than 200 MW is now in construction. 13 February 2024 SWEDEN – The energy storages are being built in Falköping (16 MW), Karlskrona (16 MW), Katrineholm (20 MW), Mjölby (8 MW), Sandviken (20 MW), Vaggeryd (11 MW), Värnamo (20 MW) and Västerås (11 MW).

How can BTM storage help electric companies manage energy consumption patterns?

Integrate BTM storage with demand response programs and provide ancillary services: Electric companies can actively manage and shape electricity consumption patterns by combining customer-owned distributed energy storage with demand response programs.

What drives energy storage growth?

Energy storage growth is generally driven by economics, incentives, and versatility. The third driver—versatility—is reflected in energy storage’s growing variety of roles across the electric grid (figure 1).
