The adequacy of the reserve market products and balancing capacity in the Finnish energy system are also studied and discussed. The review shows that in recent years, there has been a notable increase in the deployment of energy storage solutions.
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.
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.
Several parameters are influencing the development of energy storage activities in Finland, including increased VRES production capacities, prospects to import/export electricity, investment aid, legislation, the electricity and reserve markets and geographic circumstances.
Currently, utility-scale energy storage technologies that have been commissioned in Finland are limited to BESS (lithium-ion batteries) and TES, mainly TTES and Cavern Thermal Energy Storages (CTES) connected to DH systems.
In 2022, the amount of net imports was 12.5 TWh, and during 2001–2022, it varied between a minimum level of 4.9 TWh and a peak of 20.4 TWh, which can be considered as a supply security issue when Finland relies heavily on neighboring countries. Electricity imports used to come mainly from Sweden and Russia.
