Landskrona, a city in the south of Sweden, is growing with more companies and new residences, which increases the need for more power in the electricity grid. A challenge that can partly be solved by a battery energy storage. The batteries can be charged when the need for electricity is lower and discharged when the demand for power increases. The Landskrona storage project is set to be connected to the grid by 2023.<\/p>\n
The new battery storage will have a capacity of 20 MW, which corresponds to approximately one third of Landskrona’s usage. In Sweden, there are only a few battery storage projects that are integrated on the electricity grid. Landskrona will therefore be one of the first municipalities to adopt this solution. Behind the project are SCR, RES and Landskrona Energi.<\/p>\n
\u2013 The storage project will create the opportunity for the expansion planned for Landskrona. In the last two years, we have seen the growing demand in this region creating some supply challenges. The battery storage provides an addition of capacity that will strengthen Landskrona’s attractiveness for new local development. This makes it possible for new industries to establish themselves in the area and strengthens our local electricity grid, says Johan Holmstedt, CEO of Landskrona Energi.<\/p>\n
\u2013 In order for Landskrona to continue to grow with new companies and new homes, we must secure our energy needs. The new battery storage project is an effective solution that in several ways supports and strengthens the electricity network in Landskrona. Batteries will play an important role in the green transition as a stabilizing factor when more solar and wind power is developed, says Torkild Strandberg (L), chairman of the municipal board in the city of Landskrona.<\/p>\n
Landskrona Energi’s role is to connect the battery storage to the electricity grid. Developers behind the battery storage are RES and Scandinavian Capacity Reserve (SCR).<\/p>\n
\u2013 This is an exciting project for RES and another step in fulfilling our vision of a future with zero emissions. RES has developed and designed over 440 MW in storage projects globally, and we look forward to bringing that experience to this project, which will be our first in the Nordic region, says Magnus Mattsson, Commercial Manager at RES.<\/p>\n
\u2013 This is a big day for SCR. The collaboration with RES and Landskrona takes our first project one step closer from vision to reality, says Fredrik Bodecker, CEO of SCR.<\/p>\n
\u2013 The energy situation in southern Sweden shows the need for more capacity to meet future growth. A battery of this capacity helps the grid to function better and to reduce emission from other, more fossil-intensive energy power production, says Carl Hagert, Chair of the board SCR.<\/p>\n
A battery storage has several functions that support various parts of the electricity grid, both locally, regionally and nationally. An increasingly important function for batteries is that they can help with frequency maintenance for the entire Swedish electricity grid in a split second. Batteries can support grid stability, importing or exporting power to help maintain the frequency and supporting the addition of more weather dependent generation.<\/p>\n
The battery storage project will be ready for connection to the electricity grid in 2023. It will cover an area of \u200b\u200bapproximately 4,000 square meters and will be located on Gasverksgatan in Landskrona, where Landskrona Energi has its facility.<\/p>\n
Initial simulations and technical investigations indicate that it will be possible to connect the large battery storage to the network and these will be further verified in the future.<\/p>\n
