A review of the current status of energy storage in Finland and
The status of these energy storage technologies in Finland will be discussed in more detail in the next sub-sections, giving a better understanding of the current and potential
Wind power generation is estimated to grow substantially in the future in Finland. Energy storage may provide the flexibility needed in the energy transition. Reserve markets are currently driving the demand for energy storage systems. Legislative changes have improved prospects for some energy storages.
Several parameters are influencing the development of energy storage activities in Finland, including increased VRES production capacities, prospects to import/export electricity, investment aid, legislation, the electricity and reserve markets and geographic circumstances.
In conclusion, these studies indicate that high VRES shares in the Finnish energy system are possible, but require measures such as energy storage and demand response for their successful integration. 3.
In Finland, traditionally, about two-thirds of the consumer electricity bill has consisted of taxes and transmission costs. Consumers who also have their own production (e.g., PV panels) could thus potentially, in the future, make savings when investing in their own behind-the-meter electricity storage capacity.
