Glennmont Partners has collaborated with Alfen and Ilmatar to construct a 30 MW battery storage project located in Pyhäntä, Central Finland. Beginning construction in May 2023, the project is expected to commence commercial operations in January of the following year. The project will make use of Alfen’s modular design The Battery Elements battery storage system, with a storage capacity of 41 MWh.
The energy system will be established adjacent to Glennmont’s 211 MW Piiparinmäki onshore wind farm, with the site location being chosen due to the close working relationship that Glennmont and Ilmatar share. Ilmatar was responsible for the technical and commercial management of the Piiparinmäki wind farm.
The project is expected to be a significant addition to the Finnish power grid, as it will make it more sustainable and stable, providing much-needed support in times of peak demand. The project will also aid in the integration of wind power into the grid while reducing the reliance on traditional fossil fuel sources.
