Energy storage BESS / Under construction
Ainola BESS
Pyhäntä – Finland
30 MW
Total capacity
Est. 2024
To be operational
Ilmatar has developed and constructed an energy storage project in Piiparinmäki, Pyhäntä, Finland. The energy storage system has a power capacity of 30 MW and an energy storage capacity of 41 MWh. The storage facility is located in Piiparinmäki wind farm, next to the Murronkangas substation.
The facility will be able to smooth out fluctuations in renewable energy production. The system will also be able to balance frequency fluctuations (up and down) in the electricity grid to maintain a good level of electricity transmission capacity.
The system has a lifetime of about 15 years, after which it can be doubled by upgrading the storage modules.

Ilmatar sparks attention at the Swedish parliament
“Grid connections are the most important factor for us to secure right now as a developer of renewable energy production. If we are referred to the regional electricity grids in Sweden, our projects will have to be scaled back. As a country, we cannot afford to do that when we know that all forms of renewable energy are needed,” says Ilmatar’s Robert Wedmo, who held a lunch seminar in the Swedish Parliament in mid-November.
