Swedish juding energy storage technology

Why are we building Sweden's largest battery energy Storge solution?

If we are to transition to a more sustainable society, we must try to ensure that the electricity flow in the network is stable. This is why we are now building Sweden’s largest Battery Energy Storge Solution (BESS) of 10 MW, which will be located in Grums, in western Sweden.

Is Bess a good solution for energy storage in Sweden?

For example, Yvonne Ruwaida (Business Strategist at Vattenfall Eldistribution) highlighted that the need for energy storage in Sweden will be weather and seasonal dependent, thus, in the aspect of longer storage times, BESS will not be a suitable solution.

Can energy storage be used as a frequency reserve in Sweden?

For example, it has not been possible for energy storage to serve as a frequency reserve in Sweden (ENTSO-E and WGAS, 2018). Hence, this is a barrier for the deployment of energy storage. However, there are new changes in the Swedish balancing markets that will impact the possibilities for BESS to deliver frequency regulation.

Why should you invest in Sweden's smart energy ecosystem?

Five key strengths of Sweden’s Smart Energy ecosystem: Renewable energy is expected to account for 80 per cent of global growth in electricity demand by 2030. Sweden is at the forefront of progress and offers a wealth of opportunities for foreign investors.

What is Sweden's smart energy ecosystem?

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.

Is Sweden a 'forerunner' in energy policy?

In 2019, Sweden was the EU innovation leader (EC, 2019c). With regard to innovation and technology-led climate change mitigation, the country is frequently characterised as a “forerunner” in its energy policies, reflecting Sweden’s ambition to “lead by example” (Pettersson and Söderholm, 2009).
