Finland is one of the few countries where solar power, in many cases, does not receive any subsidies , although companies and communities may apply for energy aid for smaller-scale (<5 MW) solar PV projects, which covers 15 % of the investment costs .
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.
Nevertheless, there has still been significant growth in Finland for both industrial and household PV installations. In 2022, the installed capacity of mostly small-scale grid-connected PV installations increased to 395 MW from 288 MW in the previous year, yielding an annual growth rate of 37 % .
Wind power generation is estimated to grow substantially in the future in Finland. Energy storage may provide the flexibility needed in the energy transition. Reserve markets are currently driving the demand for energy storage systems. Legislative changes have improved prospects for some energy storages.
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.
