Habo Energi invests in energy storage
20.2.2023
In the ongoing transition to a sustainable energy system, an increasing part of our power supply comes from solar and wind power. This also increases the need to store energy in order to use it at a later time. When the municipal company Habo Energi turned to Rejlers to carry out an analysis of what route would be suitable to strategically develop the local power network in Habo, Sweden, it resulted in a recommendation to build a battery storage facility.
The conclusion was that this would give Habo Energi both commercial and sustainability-related advantages. The battery storage can help to stabilise the frequency in the Swedish power grid, provide opportunities to store energy when electricity rates are low and then sell it at a higher price level, and let the company cut peak power levels in the local network, thereby avoiding certain investments. Following the analysis, Rejlers also got the assignment to prepare procurement documentation for a battery storage facility with a storage capacity of up to 2 MWh.
“We have a long and well-established cooperation with Rejlers and know that they have good competence and the experience to support us with these issues. They have helped us both to find the right path forward and to take more steps to realising a battery storage facility that meets all our demands, not least when it comes to supporting the power network,” says Patric Jönnervik, Energy Manager at Habo Energi.
