This study reviews the status and prospects for energy storage activities in Finland. The adequacy of the reserve market products and balancing capacity in the Finnish energy system are also studied and discussed. The review shows that in recent years, there has been a notable increase in the deployment of energy storage solutions.
Currently, utility-scale energy storage technologies that have been commissioned in Finland are limited to BESS (lithium-ion batteries) and TES, mainly TTES and Cavern Thermal Energy Storages (CTES) connected to DH systems.
Several parameters are influencing the development of energy storage activities in Finland, including increased VRES production capacities, prospects to import/export electricity, investment aid, legislation, the electricity and reserve markets and geographic circumstances.
There is a variety of EU-funded financial tools and incentives for hydrogen projects . The affordable low-carbon electricity grid, the high availability of new VRES, and the willingness to pay from local offtakers, are making Finland attractive for European renewable hydrogen projects.
The Finnish TSO, Fingrid, is continuously taking measures to respond to the fast-growing number of renewable installations. The power system is getting more complicated both from a technical and commercial perspective, with many large changes occurring simultaneously both in electricity production and consumption.
The early projects are well-positioned to enhance flexibility in Finland’s volatile power market. However, the limited size of the country’s reserve market poses profitability challenges, driving developers to pursue ancillary services and diversify revenue streams. This webinar was held in October 2024, but the recordings are still available!
