Energy storage BESS / Investment preparation
Alvar
Alajärvi – Finland
Est. 25 MW
Total capacity
Est. 2026
To be operational
Ilmatar is preparing an energy storage project in connection with the Alajärvi wind power project. The power of the energy storage system is 25 MW and the energy storage capacity is 50 MWh. The storage is located in the Louhukangas wind farm area, next to the wind farm substation.
By locating the energy storage facility at the wind farm, the existing infrastructure can be used for multiple purposes.
The energy storage facility will help to smooth out the fluctuations in production that are typical of renewable energy. It can also balance the frequency variation of the grid to ensure that the grid system maintains a good level of capacity to transmit electricity. The system has a lifetime of about 15 years, after which it can be extended by replacing the storage modules.

Wind turbine noise much lower than commonly assumed
Wind turbines are becoming an everyday sight in the Nordic landscape, and the energy they produce plays a crucial role in the green transition. Yet wind power is sometimes criticised, for instance, because of the noise it may generate. But how much noise does a wind farm actually make?

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.
