In several countries near Sweden, the expansion of energy storage has therefore already been underway for some time. Ingrid Capacity now ensures that Sweden catches up,” says Karin Lindberg Salevid, Chief Operations Officer of Ingrid Capacity.
As a next step, Ingrid Capacity is about to commence the construction of another 13 new battery storage facilities in Sweden by the end of 2024, with a capacity of 196MW/196MWh, further strengthening the Swedish electricity grid in the SE3 and SE4 price areas.
Ingrid Capacity and BW ESS are starting the construction of energy storages at eight locations in Sweden. An output of more than 200 MW is now in construction. 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).
BW Energy Storage Systems will invest about SEK 1bn in Ingrid Capacity. This investment will be used to accelerate Ingrid Capacity’s growth trajectory and to execute on 400MW of energy storage, in a strategic partnership with BW ESS.
