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.
How much does wind power cost in Finland?
Since , wind power installations in Finland have been entirely commercially built and are mainly based on mutual power purchase agreements. The price levels for these agreements can be as low as 30 €/MWh , and onshore wind is currently the cheapest source of electricity in Finland .
How much wind power will Finland have by ?
The range of wind power and electricity storage capacity estimated to be found in the Finnish electricity system by across the four different scenarios are listed in Table 2. The scenario with the highest amount of wind power had a combined onshore and offshore wind power capacity of 44 GW and a production of 141 TWh.
Is the energy system still working in Finland?
However, the energy system is still producing electricity to the national grid and DH to the Lempäälä area, while the BESSs participate in Fingrid's market for balancing the grid . Like the energy storage market, legislation related to energy storage is still developing in Finland.
How much renewable power does Finland have?
In the past, it has been estimated that the Finnish power system can cope with a share of 20 %–37 % of renewable wind and solar power without requiring larger additional investments in the grid and balancing capacity from DR and ESSs.
Is energy storage a viable solution for the Finnish energy system?
This development forebodes a significant transition in the Finnish energy system, requiring new flexibility mechanisms to cope with this large share of generation from variable renewable energy sources. Energy storage is one solution that can provide this flexibility and is therefore expected to grow.
To demonstrate how the growth of wind power may be the driving factor for increasing the need for energy storage, an estimate of the future growth of wind power in Finland is made here.
