Customer Manager Antero Reilander from Fingrid says that Neoen inquired – via a consultant – in October 2019, if there would be suitable plot for battery storage facility somewhere in Finland. “We made a survey of the entire country and quickly focused on Yllikkälä which seemed like a really good fit for Neoen,” Reilander looks back.
“Yllikkälä is a key project for our company, being the largest of its kind for us in Europe. It is a very good complement to our renewable project developments in Finland,” says Prot. Antero Reilander comments that while there have been other battery storage projects in Finland, this one is the biggest – by far.
The facility will be located close to Lappeenranta in the south-east of the country. Following on from the Hornsdale Power Reserve in Australia, Azur stockage in France and Albireo Power Reserve in El Salvador, this first roll-out of lithium-ion stationary batteries in Finland underpins Neoen's leadership in battery-based grid services.
Neoen is no newcomer in Finland, having been active in wind power earlier on, as well. Following the development of the Hedet and Mutkalampi wind farms, Neoen is making yet another big push in the renewable energy market with the addition of the new battery storage unit.
In particular, Neoen owns and operates some of the world's largest batteries, including: Victorian Big Battery (300 MW / 450 MWh), Western Downs Battery (270 MW / 540 MWh) and the world's first big battery Hornsdale Power Reserve (150 MW / 193.5 MWh), all located in Australia.
