14 large-scale battery storage systems (BESS) have come online in Sweden to deploy 211 MW / 211 MWh into the region. Developer and optimiser Ingrid Capacity and energy storage owner-operator BW ESS have been working in partnership to deliver 14 large-scale BESS projects throughout Sweden’s grid, situated in electricity price areas SE3 and SE4.
However, the usage of energy storage, for example by using a battery, is not explicitly dealt with in the Swedish Electricity Act. As such, there are no explicit provisions for how energy storage is to be handled from a grid perspective.
The Uppsala battery storage project is a 5 MW delivery capacity system that supports Uppsala’s electricity grid capacity as a service for Vattenfall Eldistribution. It also assists Svenska Kraftnät (the Swedish power grid authority) in balancing the frequency in Sweden, with a storage capacity of about 20 MWh, which is equivalent to 4 MW in 5 hours.
The Swedish Energy Agency can contribute to the success of power system upgrades by continuing to fund projects aimed at helping municipalities to mobilise local companies in the construction and maintenance of new wind power or network expansion projects (with services including hotels, catering, electricians, etc.).
The background to grid renewal in Stock-holms Ström is a Government commission from 2004. This commissioned Svenska kraftnät to draw up a proposal for the design of the future power grid in the Stockholm region.
The implementation has dragged on for time in Sweden and not until late last year in December, almost a year late, has the government submitted a legal advice referral with a bill on changes regarding the grid operations.
