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.
The review shows that in recent years, there has been a notable increase in the deployment of energy storage solutions. There has especially been growth in utility-scale battery energy storage systems, with about 0.2 GWh currently in operation and a further 0.4 GWh planned.
Beyond environmental benefits, the technology is designed to support energy grid stability. It stores energy during periods of low demand and discharges it during peak consumption, contributing to the flexibility and resilience of the national energy system. Investment firm CapMan Infra, which supports the project, emphasised its economic appeal.
