Capalo AI has signed an agreement to trade and optimize some of MW Storage’s BESS capacity in Finland.
Helsinki, Finland – 22nd of January 2025 – Capalo AI and MW Storage, one of Europe’s leading battery energy storage (BESS) investors, announce a partnership in the Finnish market. The deal entails trading, optimization, and market access for some of MW Storage’s BESS projects in Finland.
MW Storage has developed multiple large-scale BESS installations across Europe and has expertise from projects like the massive 100MW/200MWh installation in Arzberg, Germany. Expanding into Finland aligns with their vision of accelerating Europe’s green energy transition.
MW Storage’s additional BESS capacity will become operational in 2025 and significantly contribute to the Finnish grid. It is a crucial boost to regional grid stability and accelerates the transition to green energy in the Nordics. The capacity will be integrated into the Capalo Zeus VPP, joining a pool of over 100MW+ BESS assets alongside those from Ardian and Taaleri Energia.
Capalo AI will manage the optimization and trading of this BESS capacity in all Finnish ancillary markets (FFR, FCR-D, FCR-N, aFRR, mFRR) and Nord Pool wholesale markets (Spot, Intraday) by utilizing fully automated algorithmic trading and asset operations with self-learning models. By allowing participation in all available revenue streams and using AI-based optimization, Capalo AI ensures the maximal lifetime value for these BESS assets.
“We are proud to play a key role in the Finnish and European energy transition. Our goal is to maximize the value of our projects for our investors, transmission system operators, and society. Our partnership with Capalo AI ensures we achieve these objectives, now and in the years ahead,” said Jonas Metzger, Head of Nordics at MW Storage.
“Partnering with MW Storage marks a major step in strengthening grid stability and accelerating sustainable energy adoption in the Nordics. With our AI-driven technology and integration of their assets into our VPP, we are setting new standards for what batteries can achieve in terms of efficiency, profitability, and environmental impact, “said Henri Taskinen, CEO at Capalo AI.
