Is energy storage the future of wind power generation in Finland?
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.
Which energy storage technologies are being commissioned in Finland?
Currently, utility-scale energy storage technologies that have been commissioned in Finland are limited to BESS (lithium-ion batteries) and TES, mainly TTES and Cavern Thermal Energy Storages (CTES) connected to DH systems.
How much wind power will Finland have in ?
According to an investigation conducted in by the Finnish gas Transmission System Operator (TSO) Gasum, the Finnish power grid could, in , cope with about 7–8.5 GW (25–30 TWh) wind power capacity without requiring any significant additions of balancing capacity .
How much hydrogen will Finland produce by ?
In the transport sector, renewable hydrogen and its derivatives should make up at least 1 % of fuel consumption by . The Finnish government adopted a resolution that set a target of producing 10 % of Europe's renewable hydrogen by , and it has been estimated that Finland could potentially produce over 14 % of Europe's target by .
How many hydrogen projects are there in Finland?
In a list of green investments in Finland by the Confederation of Finnish Industries, there are 31 planned hydrogen projects listed . The projects would produce hydrogen mainly through electrolysis, with some of the projects further refining the hydrogen into ammonia, methane and methanol.
How does the Finnish TSO respond to the growing number of renewable installations?
The Finnish TSO, Fingrid, is continuously taking measures to respond to the fast-growing number of renewable installations. The power system is getting more complicated both from a technical and commercial perspective, with many large changes occurring simultaneously both in electricity production and consumption.
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 role of these energy storage technologies in the Finnish energy system.

Multiple European countries such as Germany, Spain and the Netherlands have announced their hydrogen strategies and for example Germany has earmarked 9 billion euros to support their hydrogen strategy by . There is a lively discussion upon the perspectives on energy storage in Finland among the
gy storage systems, with about 0.2 GWh currently in operation and a further 0.4 GWh planned. A similar growth in thermal energy storage sys ems, with about 39 GWh in operation and a further 176 GWh under planning, has been reported. This rapid development has been facilitated by the pro-vision of
The profitability of the wind-solar and wind-solar-BESS hybrid power plants (HPP) were compared to standalone wind, solar and BESS assets. According to calculations, co-locating wind and solar power with a ratio of 55/45 and sizing the transmission capacity based on the power of the wind park, the
Hybrid projects – i.e. combining solar and wind power with possible energy storage – can also offer synergies on the financial side. Hybrid projects make use of common infrastructure, which can lead to savings in overall costs. Once the construction phase is completed, the cost of solar power
A hybrid system is a combination of two or more renewable energy sources that can complement each other and provide a more stable and reliable supply of electricity. For example, a hybrid system can consist of wind turbines and solar panels that are connected to the same grid or battery storage.
The Finland solar power market is set to grow significantly, with installed capacity projected to reach 9.04 GW by , up from 1 GW in . This expansion is fueled by government support, rising investments, and decreasing installation costs, despite challenges like normalizing electricity
