This is why we are now building Sweden’s largest Battery Energy Storge Solution (BESS) of 10 MW, which will be located in Grums, in western Sweden. The main function of the system is to better balance the national grid networks.
“Sweden is well-positioned in this area. We’re a major producer of lithium-ion batteries, which in fact will be able to contribute to the green transition and help transform Sweden’s industrial landscape. But there is also an acute shortage of skills in the battery area in Sweden.
But as the battery industry develops and grows in many countries simultaneously, investors, materials, and expertise become scarce. If Sweden is to succeed in the battery field, competence will be required from both Sweden and the rest of the world.
