Ingrid Capacity and BW ESS are starting the construction of energy storages at eight locations in Sweden. An output of more than 200 MW is now in construction. 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).
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. The main function of the system is to better balance the national grid networks.
As a next step, Ingrid Capacity is about to commence the construction of another 13 new battery storage facilities in Sweden by the end of 2024, with a capacity of 196MW/196MWh, further strengthening the Swedish electricity grid in the SE3 and SE4 price areas.
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.
This initiative represents the deployment of 14 large-scale battery storage facilities with a total capacity of 211MW/211MWh – a historic investment and milestone in Sweden’s transition towards a fossil-free energy system here and now.
“Sweden is facing a significantly increased demand for electricity, which must be addressed through a combination of increased fossil-free electricity production, stronger power grids and improved energy storage. It is a great honor to inaugurate the largest energy storage investment in the Nordics, with 211 MW now connected to the power grid.
