The Nordics have well-developed electricity markets where the price of electricity can fluctuate significantly due to the availability of renewable energy, particularly during periods of high wind or solar generation. Battery storage systems can take advantage of these price fluctuations and support the grid during excess production. During this presentation we explore how investors can make the most out of BESS technologies in the Nordics.
