“It is a great honor to inaugurate the largest energy storage investment in the Nordics, with 211 MW now connected to the power grid. “Thanks to the efforts of Ingrid Capacity and BW ESS, we are reducing grid congestion and enabling increased power production.”
Finland, Norway and Sweden have a substantial energy storage capacity of approximately 125 TWh, thanks to their large hydro reservoirs. To put the Nordic hydro storages into perspective, the energy storage capacity of 100 million electric cars is approximately 5 TWh (assuming 50 kWh per car).
Vantaa Energy in Finland started the construction of the largest underground thermal energy storage in the world. It will have a volume of 1.1 million m3 and capacity of 90 GWh, approximately 5% of Vantaa's annual DH demand.
