Reserve markets are currently driving the demand for energy storage systems. Legislative changes have improved prospects for some energy storages. Mainly battery storage and thermal energy storages have been deployed so far. The share of renewable energy sources is growing rapidly in Finland.
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.
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.
In addition to that, Finland has a strong culture focusing on core business functions and there is always plenty of space for services. It is, however, noticeable that battery energy storage systems or services are demonstrated only by larger companies, which have got typically 30% investment support.
However, the energy system is still producing electricity to the national grid and DH to the Lempäälä area, while the BESSs participate in Fingrid's market for balancing the grid . Like the energy storage market, legislation related to energy storage is still developing in Finland.
The Finnish market has some specific characteristics that make it an interesting target as a case study regarding storage as a service business. Finland is the first country in the world to have adopted smart electricity metering (hourly metering and remote reading) on a full scale.
Let''s cut through the jargon: Finnish energy storage companies aren''t just building factories—they''re redefining how the world stores clean energy. With a mix of Arctic innovation
