Energy storage

With renewable energy production on the rise, it has become increasingly important to plan, develop, and build solutions for storing renewable energy in connection with power generation. Storage is required for periods when renewable energy production is either low or excessively high to balance out electricity availability and price fluctuations in the market.

Alongside developing, planning, constructing and maintaining renewable energy farms, we are also responsible for selling the generated energy to the market. This is why we at Ilmatar invest heavily in flexible use of renewable energy with storage solutions. 

Currently we have over 20 storage projects under development in Finland and in Sweden.

We primarily plan energy storage solutions to locations in close proximity to our existing wind or solar power generation. This strategy allows us to use existing infrastructure, such as roads and electrical stations, ensuring efficient land use. Another advantage of having production and storage in the same location is reduced transmission losses. Storage is a comprehensive tool for capacity management, both in-farm and in relation to the national electricity grid.
