Developer Ingrid Capacity and the storage arm of maritime firm BW Group are now building 14 BESS projects in Sweden with a combined capacity of over 200MW, with the latter also entering the Italian market. The
Flexible assets and energy storage firm Ingrid Capacity and energy infrastructure owner and developer Locus Energy, a portfolio company of SEB Nordic Energy, have agreed to partner on the deployment of 196 MW of battery energy storage system (BESS) capacity in southern Sweden.
Bredhälla BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) is located in Uppvidinge Municipality in Kronoberg County and consists of a battery storage facility with a capacity of 42.5 MW, established near two of OX2''s wind power projects – Karskruv and Marhult.

"Rocmore Energy is delighted to expand our presence in the Swedish energy market. The acquisition of the 17 MW BESS project, made together with our partner Pyrios, marks another milestone in Rocmore Energy''s ambitions to enable the transition to renewable energy by providing robust energy storage solutions in Sweden," said Rocmore''s COO Johan Thorpenberg.
That BESS project was an 8-hour duration lithium-ion (Li-ion) project submitted by RWE, with 50MW output to 400MWh capacity, as reported by Energy-Storage.news in May. 980MW/2790MWh of BESS, 95MW of VPP win contracts This time out, there were no long-duration energy storage (LDES) winners.

Australia''s biggest power producer AGL has secured planning approval for a 500MW/2GWh grid-connected utility scale battery to be developed at the site of its coal-fired Liddell power plant in
WSP has served as Owners Engineer on some of Australia''s largest grid scale BESS projects, most notably the Waratah Super Battery, Liddell and Hazlewood BESS projects. The two most common questions asked when developing the design and commencing construction are; will it be compliant; and have we meet industry best practice.
Meanwhile, AGL, which like EnergyAustralia is a utility generator-retailer, received state government planning approval in late 2021 to put a 200MW/800MWh BESS at the site of Loy Yang. A few months after that, AGL also got approval in the state of New South Wales for a 500MW/2,000MWh BESS project proposal at the retiring Liddell power station.
The Liddell BESS will be situated on the site of the retired coal power station and will compound AGL''s portfolio of grid scale battery assets, such as the 250 MW Torrens Island battery. Construction is due to start in early 2024 with operations projected to commence in 2026. Construction of the battery project is expected to cost AU$750 million.
Liddell BESS Shed (October 2024) Liddell BESS Shed is a construction project based in Muswellbrook NSW within the Commercial sector. The project has an approximate budget of $750k - $1m, and quotes are closing 5th of November, 2024. To find out more, please read below.
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.

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. with local development partners, suppliers, contractors and financial institutions, to deliver market leading BESS projects. BW ESS is a part of BW Group, a global energy and
The Liddell battery forms part of AGL''s plans to add 850 MW of grid-scale batteries to its portfolio by 2024. Earlier this year, AGL announced construction had started on its 250 MW one-hour-duration battery at the site of its Torrens Island power station in South Australia. It is already operating the 30 MW/ 8 MWh BESS at
"Once completed, the Liddell battery will add to AGL''s existing suite of grid scale battery assets and contracted capacity from third parties. This includes the 250 MW Torrens Island battery, which commenced operations in August 2023, and the 50 MW Broken Hill battery which will commence operations shortly. We will continue to leverage our
The Bredhälla project will be the largest BESS in Sweden when online, though a much larger 93.9MW/93.9MWh project is being built by Neoen and Nidec for a 2025 commissioning. BESS projects in Sweden primarily target the country''s ancillary service markets, historically provided by hydropower assets which are increasingly being displaced by BESS.
Description: The Liddell Battery Energy Storage System Project (the Project) will be constructed adjacent to the recently retired Liddell Power Station in Muswellbrook NSW. The purpose of the Liddell Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) aims to accelerate the demonstration of advanced inverter capabilities on battery projects at scale.
The Liddell and Bayswater power stations are located between Singleton and Muswellbrook in the Upper Hunter Valley in New South Wales. Over recent years the 2,640 MW Bayswater power station has produced approximately 15,000 GWh of electricity a year, which is enough power for two million average Australian homes and families.
The Liddell BESS will be located at the site of AGL Energy''s retired coal power station and marks AGL Energy''s first development at its Hunter Energy Hub. AGL Energy''s Managing Director and CEO, Damien Nicks, commented "the Liddell battery will be a key component of achieving our interim target of approximately 5 GW of new renewables
Centrica has entered into an agreement to acquire up to nine ''ready to build'' battery energy storage projects (BESS) in Sweden with a total capacity of over 100MW from Fu-Gen AG, the Swiss based renewables developer and independent power producer. The investment forms part of Centrica''s plans to materially increase investment over the coming

BESS in Sweden primarily target the ancillary services market and its size is such that a market saturation is not expected for several years, so projects are still generally only one hour in duration. That is in contrast to neighbouring Finland, where Neoen opted for a 2-hour system for its recent project; local optimiser Capalo AI discussed
The 1-hour duration BESS project, called Isbillen Power Reserve, will be the largest in Sweden and the largest in the Nordics by megawatt (MW) power. The largest by megawatt-hours energy capacity in the Nordics will be a 2-hour project in Finland that Neoen recently started building (Premium access), with a capacity of 112.9MWh, and that is also set
The Project objective is to develop a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) with a capacity of approximately 500 megawatts (MW) and 1,000 megawatt-hour (MWh) (Facility), designed as two independent generating systems of 250 megawatts (MW) and 500 megawatt-hour (MWh) each, which join together on the 330kV transmission before the Point of
The 1-hour duration BESS project, called Isbillen Power Reserve, will be the largest in Sweden and the largest in the Nordics by megawatt (MW) power.
Some 200MW of grid-scale BESS is set to come online in Sweden this year according to Flextools, including a 20MW project deployed by Alfen at a wind farm operated by Vasa Vind, anno u nced last week. Energy-Storage.news’ publisher Solar Media will host the 9th annual Energy Storage Summit EU in London, 20-21 February 2024.
As Liddell has retired, this battery will help meet peak demand and help to back up wind and solar generation. Due to Liddell’s location, the battery storage will help ensure the ongoing stability of New South Wales power system. This will make use of the significant infrastructure at Liddell and utilise it for battery storage.
The Isbillen BESS will mainly provide ancillary services, specifically Frequency Containment Reserve, to Swedish transmission system operator (TSO) Svenska Kraftnät. It will be connected to the 130kV grid area operated by distribution system operator (DSO) E.ON Energidistribution.
AGL has appointed Fluence Energy to act as the Principal Contractor and have HSE control for the Liddell Battery Project site. AGL has also signed the Connection Agreements with Transgrid for the construction of 330kV/33kV BESS substation along with a 330kV overhead line to connect the BESS substation with Liddell 330kV Transgrid switchyard.
The Liddell Battery Project will be delivered under an Engineer Procure Construct (EPC) Contract by Fluence Energy. AGL has appointed Fluence Energy to act as the Principal Contractor and have HSE control for the Liddell Battery Project site.
