Energy storage BESS / Under development
Västervik – Riskula
Kristiinankaupunki – Finland
Est. 25 MW
Total capacity
Est. 2026
To be operational
Ilmatar is preparing an energy storage project in connection with the Västervik wind power project. The power of the energy storage system is 30 MW and the energy storage capacity is 60 MWh. The storage is located at Riskula substation on the east side of the main road 8. By placing the energy storage in connection with the wind farm, the already existing infrastructure can be utilized for multiple purposes.
The energy storage can balance the production variation typical for renewable energy. In addition, the system can balance the frequency variation of the network, so that the electricity transmission network reliability remains at a good level. The lifetime of the system is about 15 years, after which the lifetime can be extended by changing 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?
