Capalo AI to Optimize Renewable Power Capital’s 50MW/100MWh BESS in Finland
Helsinki, 11.11.2025 — Capalo AI, a sustainable technology company specializing in trading, optimization, and aggregation services for energy storage, has signed an agreement with Renewable Power Capital (RPC) – a London-headquartered pan-European renewables company – to optimize and trade their Kalanti 50MW/100MWh BESS facility in Uusikaupunki, Finland.
The Kalanti BESS marks RPC’s first battery storage investment in Finland and one of the largest energy storage projects in the country. The asset is expected to begin commercial operation in summer 2026, following the start of construction in March 2025. Once operational, the project will bring 50MW/100MWh of storage to the Finnish grid and will participate in all ancillary and wholesale markets through Capalo Zeus VPP™, Finland’s largest virtual power plant.
Capalo AI’s fully automated, AI-driven optimization platform enables advanced multi-market trading across all Nordic markets (FFR, FCR-D, FCR-N, aFRR, mFRR, Spot, and Intraday). Through its real-time data analytics and adaptive optimization algorithms, the platform maximizes asset lifetime value while supporting the stability and flexibility of the Finnish power system.
This is a key milestone in RPC’s role using battery storage to maximize the use of renewables and provide crucial security and resilience in the Finnish energy system. It’s also an exciting development for its strong Finnish portfolio, which already includes three onshore wind sites providing more than 170MW of clean power to homes and businesses in the region.
“We’re proud to be partnering with RPC on their first Finnish BESS project. By integrating their 50MW/100MWh battery into the Capalo Zeus VPP, we ensure it strengthens Nordic grid resilience, accelerates renewable integration, and delivers maximum value across all markets,” said Henri Taskinen, CEO of Capalo AI.
“Finland’s energy system needs efficient and well-managed storage to make the most of its growing renewable capacity. We’re pleased to be partnering with Capalo AI, whose proven expertise in optimization and market access ensures that our Uusikaupunki project can deliver both grid value and strong returns,” said Sarwjit Sambhi, CEO of Renewable Power Capital.
