At a time when reliable electricity supply is crucial for both industrial activities and societal functions, energy storage has become an important function for balancing the Swedish power grid. In situations where the grid owner may not be able to deliver the required capacity, energy storage therefore provides a reliable solution. It also creates a stable basis for supporting the overall power grid, while generating a passive income stream to the owner.

Economic opportunities

With an energy storage facility, you can support Svenska Kraftnät in its mission to maintain a good balance in the power grid. At the same time, short power outages or peaks can be bridged with the help of the energy storage.

According to EU legislation, Svenska Kraftnät may not own energy storage facilities other than in exceptional cases. The same also applies to Svenska Kraftnät's counterparts in other EU countries. Therefore, it is important for Svenska Kraftnät to establish cooperation with external owners of energy storage.

As an external operator, you can become part of maintaining the balance between production and consumption in the Swedish electricity system through agreements with Svenska Kraftnät. These actors play an important role in the overall balancing process of the entire Swedish power grid. 

A supplier of ancillary services to Svenska Kraftnät receives financial compensation after verified delivery of its services.

Support services balance new needs

As technology and equipment evolve, they become increasingly sensitive and dependent on a stable power grid. Imbalances can damage or knock out technology. At the same time, power systems are changing, making it more difficult to balance the grid load. Ancillary services such as energy storage therefore have a significant role in the future Swedish power grid.
