4 FAQs about Nordic Photovoltaic Energy Storage Cabinet Delivery Time

How many hours a day are high electricity prices in Nordic countries?

oAverage of 90 hours in Nordic countries in 2023 simultaneously, the number of hours with high electricity prices has risen significantly. Before 2021, there were only a few hours with prices exceeding 200 €/MWh, but these became much more frequent during 2021 and 2022 due to the energy crisis.

Why is the Nordic region a key energy storage provider?

With existing interconnections to the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, and the Baltics, the Nordic region already serves as a key energy storage provider for the rest of Europe. Many Nordic hydropower plants are upgrading their control systems to improve its responsiveness.

How can batteries help the Nordic energy grid?

Support for intermittent renewables: With the increasing share of solar and wind power in the Nordic energy mix, batteries can store excess energy generated during peak production times and release it when renewable generation is low, further enhancing grid stability.

Why do we need hydro reservoirs in the Nordic region?

The Nordic region benefits from large hydro reservoirs that provide excellent and cost-effective energy storage options, which are already being efficiently utilised. Meeting growing future flexibility needs with a changing energy mix will require supplementing hydro reservoirs with batteries or hydrogen-based fuels.
