Tender announcement for finnish energy storage project

Who is building a 30MW Bess in Finland?

Construction has begun on a 30MW BESS in Finland, developed by Glennmont Partners and deployed by ESS firm Alfen, with local IPP Ilmatar.

Will Alfen build a Bess project in Finland?

Netherlands-based Alfen will provide its modular-grid scale BESS product – The Battery Elements – for the project. It is Alfen’s second BESS project in Finland co-located with wind, after it received an order from another independent power producer (IPP) EPV Energy for its Tevu wind farm around a year ago.

What role will battery technology play in Finland's energy mix?

Francesco Cacciabue, Partner at Glennmont, commented: “Battery technology will play an increasingly vital role in both Finland and the wider world’s energy mix in the years to come, mitigating intermittency issues and ensuring we gain maximum benefit from established renewables technologies.”
