The massive need for new energy storage solutions comes in several main forms. The most recognized one is electric vehicles (EV). EVs produce fewer emissions and cost less to drive and maintain, as electric engines are more efficient (70% instead of 30% energy efficiency) and have fewer expensive parts that break in use.
In an interview at the Energy Storage Summit 2023 in London last year, executives from Merus explained that the energy storage market in Finland is being driven by a big buildout of wind power and pumped hydro''s limitations in providing ancillary services. New Hampshire-based developer Granite Source Power (GSP) co-founder Jessica Shor
We are building a seasonal thermal energy storage facility in Vantaa, Finland. Our seasonal thermal energy storage is called Varanto. When completed in 2028, it will be the largest in the world by all standards (1,1 million cubic meters and 90
Helsinki and Tornio are emerging as important hubs in the hydrogen ecosystem. Helen, the energy utility of the City of Helsinki, in April announced it has made a final investment decision on building the first green hydrogen plant in the city.To be situated strategically near the district heating network and a busy container terminal, the pilot plant will produce around three

Neoen (ISIN: FR0011675362, Ticker: NEOEN), one of the world''s leading and fastest-growing independent producers of exclusively renewable energy, is announcing the construction in Finland of Yllikkälä Power Reserve One, a new 30 MW energy storage plant with a storage capacity of 30 MWh.
Wärtsilä Energy Storage & Optimisation. Energy storage integrator: optimising energy for a smarter, safer, more reliable grid. Wärtsilä Energy Storage & Optimisation is leading the introduction of disruptive, game-changing products and technologies to the global power industry. As a battery energy storage integrator, we''re unlocking the way to an optimised energy future
The DualFlow project will introduce a radically new energy conversion and storage concept. The breakthrough idea involves combining battery storage, hydrogen generation and production of useful chemicals into a single hybrid system using water-soluble redox mediators as energy transfer vectors. From Finland the funding organization is
The new 30 MW energy storage plant – with a storage capacity of 30 MWh – is located in Yllikkälä, close to the city of Lappeenranta in Southeast Finland. Known as Yllikkälä Power Reserve One, this first roll-out of lithium-ion stationary batteries in Finland underpins Neoen''s leadership in battery-based grid services.
Finnish startup Polar Night Energy is building an industrial-scale thermal energy storage system in southern Finland. The 100-hour, sand-based storage system will use crushed soapstone, a by-product from a
A storage device made from sand may overcome the biggest issue in the transition to renewable energy. But in a corner of a small power plant in western Finland stands a new piece of technology
The project, called Vantaa Energy Cavern Thermal Energy Storage (VECTES), will involve caverns around 60 metres underground in bedrock. According to project overview documents produced by Vantaa,
Vantaa Energy is building a seasonal thermal energy storage facility in Vantaa, Finland. When completed in 2028, it will be the largest in the world by all standards and its thermal energy capacity could fully charge as
Renewable energy has been on the rise in Finland; renewable energy accounts for 50.76% of total final energy consumption where bioenergy, hydropower and wind power were the major renewable production methods. As a result, the share of fossil fuels in the total energy supply dropped to 36%, which is significantly lower than the IEA average of 70%.
