Fu-Gen has successfully developed a large-scale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project with a capacity of 20 MWh in Härryda Municipality. The project has now been sold to Monsson, a leading European player in renewable energy and advanced energy storage solutions. Construction is scheduled to begin in autumn 2025. Monsson will take over ownership and operational responsibility of the facil-ity, which will be connected to the local power grid in Härryda.
– We are proud to have taken this project from concept to investment-ready status. It feels reassuring to hand over the baton to Monsson, a company with deep expertise in BESS and a strong focus on education initiatives aimed at providing local industry with deeper insights into how energy storage can enhance both grid stability and profitability, says Seppo Tupeli, Country Manager Finland at Fu-Gen.
A Key Contribution to the Energy System
The project enables electricity to be stored during periods of low demand and delivered when demand is high. In this way, BESS helps ensure that grid capacity is available when needed. Large-scale local energy storage will enable Härryda Energi to:
- Reduce peak loads on the regional grid – minimizing the need for costly grid reinforcements.
- Stabilize the power grid – by rapidly supplying or absorbing energy.
- Enable load shifting – storing electricity when it is cheap and available, and
delivering it to the grid when demand is high.
A Project Aligned with Sustainability Goals
The project supports Härryda Municipality’s Sustainability Strategy for 2023–2035, which aims to create an ecologically, socially, and economically sustainable society. By adding flexible energy storage, the project contributes to a more resilient and climate-adapted energy infrastructure.
– BESS technology ensures that capacity is available when it’s needed—an essential factor for a resilient power grid and crucial for maintaining low and stable electricity prices for households and industry by reducing price volatility. This project is a tangible example of how local benefits can be created through collaboration and knowledge sharing within the energy system, says Seppo Tupeli, Country Manager Finland at Fu-Gen.
