Global organisation
Sweden’s Smart Energy ecosystem brings together leading suppliers of smart grids, district heating and cooling, and innovative solutions for energy storage. These key players are on a mission to speed up the transition to clean electricity and carbon neutrality – in Sweden and globally.
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.
Sweden has been successful in its energy transformation through market-based policies that focus on energy efficiency and renewable energy, notably CO 2 taxation, which has helped drive decarbonisation across several sectors.
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.
13 February 2024 SWEDEN – 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). A storage with a power of 20 MW correlates to what a Swedish town with 40,000 inhabitants on average consumes during peak hours.
The Swedish Energy Agency can contribute to the success of power system upgrades by continuing to fund projects aimed at helping municipalities to mobilise local companies in the construction and maintenance of new wind power or network expansion projects (with services including hotels, catering, electricians, etc.).
