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.
In conclusion, these studies indicate that high VRES shares in the Finnish energy system are possible, but require measures such as energy storage and demand response for their successful integration. 3.
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.
Since 2019, wind power installations in Finland have been entirely commercially built and are mainly based on mutual power purchase agreements. The price levels for these agreements can be as low as 30 €/MWh , and onshore wind is currently the cheapest source of electricity in Finland .
Water TTESs found in Finland are listed in Table 7. The total storage capacity of the TTES in operation is about 11.4 GWh, and the storage capacity of the TTES under planning is about 4.2 GWh.
