Battery energy storage systems (BESS) continue to play a vital role in the Nordic energy transition. Based on Marsh's experience in advising BESS owners in the Nordics, cold climate challenges, ensuring safety, and optimizing spacing are key topics that are discussed for BESS development in the region.
The Nordic region benefits from large hydro reservoirs that provide excellent and cost-effective energy storage options, which are already being efficiently utilised. Meeting growing future flexibility needs with a changing energy mix will require supplementing hydro reservoirs with batteries or hydrogen-based fuels.
Optimizing Spacing: The Nordic landscape offers sufficient space for BESS installations, allowing the minimum spacing between battery containers and transformers to be met. This spacing reduces fire risks, enhances airflow and ventilation, prevents overheating, and simplifies maintenance and repairs.
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.
