On March 27, 2025, Swedish municipal energy company Stockholm Exergi AB announced that it made a final investment decision (FID) to build the world''s
14 large-scale battery storage systems (BESS) have come online in Sweden to deploy 211 MW / 211 MWh into the region. Developer and optimiser Ingrid Capacity and energy storage owner-operator BW ESS have been working in partnership to deliver 14 large-scale BESS projects throughout Sweden’s grid, situated in electricity price areas SE3 and SE4.
Table 1. Summary of literature review. In case of the Swedish energy system, there are uncertainties surrounding the future of nuclear power plants, the anticipated increase in wind and solar PV installations, electrification trends, and the role of hydrogen in the steel industry [34, 35].
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.
In 2019, the nuclear share of electricity generation in Sweden was 39%. In the same year, Sweden’s NPPs averaged a unit capability factor of 88.5%. In the period 2010-2021 fourteen events were classified as Level 1 events according to the INES scale.
Zhong et al. investigated the current status of the electricity sector in Sweden to explore the feasibility of replacing nuclear and conventional thermal power plants with wind power. The results indicated that such a replacement is possible by increasing the capacity of wind power to three times the current levels with pumped hydro storage .
Hitherto studies have predominantly focused on electricity sector. Nevertheless, the targets for 2045 necessitates studying the Swedish energy system at national scale in the context of sector coupling & storage.
