Summary
It is FRV´s first joint Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) 60 MWh site in Simo, Finland, located at the top of the Baltic Sea, just over 100 kilometers below the Arctic Circle.
Construction of the first phase of the project started in May 2024 and is expected to be operative in Q1 2025. Located near the newly commissioned Fingrid Simojoki substation in Lapland, the site will initially house 26 Sungrow PowerTitan battery arrays based on lithium ferrophosphate (LFP) cells, delivering 60 MWh of capacity. The project covers a 0.4-hectare area and will play a vital role in stabilizing Finland’s growing renewable energy grid.
In 2025 FRV has signed an extension of the project with 70MW/140MWh more. The second phase uses 34 Huawei Luna battery containers.
