A surprising equation: balancing power plants + renewables and energy storage = reduced CO₂ emissions 🌱 Our new study shows that adding a small amount of balancing power plants, now running on gas and in the future on sustainable fuels to support renewables and energy storage could result in significantly reduced CO₂ emissions. How does this happen? Malin Östman, our Vice President of Strategy and Business Development, explains how this is possible and just how much emissions we could reduce.

✨New balancing engine power plant to support Finland's energy transition 💚 We’re excited to announce that Wärtsilä and Tornion Voima, subsidiary of EPV Energy, are building a new engine power plant in Finland.🤝 The plant, with a total capacity of about 43 MW, will be Finland's first to provide balancing capacity to the power system. With the new plant Tornion Voima will be able to guarantee electricity production during disturbances and varying weather conditions. 💬 Kenneth Engblom, Vice President at Wärtsilä Energy, highlights: “The availability of wind and solar power varies by nature and ensuring availability even during cloudy and low-wind weather requires flexible and reliable electricity production capacity. For this, a modern engine power plant is the best option. It can be started quickly, only when needed and only for as long as necessary.” 💡Discover more about this milestone in our latest press release: https://lnkd.in/d34tuJGF #WartsilaEnergy #Finland #BalancingPower #EnginePowerPlant

⚡Including balancing power plants into energy systems to support renewables and energy storage is key to a faster, more effective reduction of emissions. How is this possible?

🌍 Adding balancing power plants to our energy systems globally is the most cost-effective pathway to net zero. Anders Lindberg, President of Wärtsilä Energy and EVP, Wärtsilä, reveals just how much we could be saving globally by 2050. 💡 This is one of the many striking findings in our new report "Crossroads to net zero". Deploying balancing power alongside energy storage is the optimal pathway to maximise the potential of renewables. It's time for decisive action from the entire power sector to integrate these balancing technologies and drive a low-cost, low-emission energy transition in line with the 2050 Paris Agreement. 👉 Learn more about our findings: https://wartsi.ly/3ZKmFFv #CrossroadstoNetzero #EnergyTransition #BalancingPower #PowerSystemModelling

Last week a crucial milestone was reached at Origin Energy's Eraring battery facility in New South Wales, Australia. 🔋 The site’s substation is now connected to the grid and will be supporting one of the largest energy storage systems in the world to date! ⚡

⚡ Can optimal net-zero energy be achieved solely through the addition of renewables and energy storage? We analysed power systems globally to evaluate the impact of two widely discussed decarbonisation pathways from now until 2050, and made some astonishing findings 👇 Learn more in our recent report: https://wartsi.ly/3ZKmFFv #CrossroadstoNetzero #EnergyTransition #BalancingPower #PowerSystemModelling

Regulators and policy makers must establish effective frameworks for market access and get the market signals right to ensure continued investment. 🔋 To unlock the full potential of battery storage, regulatory systems must: 👉 provide clarity on market access, 👉 recognise the full value of the services that the technology offers, 👉 establish price signals that accurately reflect its various contributions. Revenue opportunities are growing and diversifying for battery owners and operators, making software solutions essential in enabling asset owners to have strong technical and market performance. 💡 Read more insights from our expert Kashish Shah in pv magazine Australia: https://lnkd.in/guNCNBYM #EnergyStorage #BESS #Australia #Decarbonisation #RenewableEnergy

Enabling the next era of energy storage growth through software. 👇 Managing large-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) over 1 GWh can be challenging. That's why having advanced software with actionable insights and real-time visualisation tools is essential. 📊 With the extensive data available, operators need to oversee operations at both macro and micro levels to ensure optimal performance both within each piece of equipment and across the entire site. 🔋 Sophisticated software unlocks the full potential of multi-GWh-scale BESS projects, bringing us closer to a resilient, 100% renewable grid. ➡️ Learn more in this Utility Dive article by our software expert Ruchira Shah: https://lnkd.in/g-m-MtSN #EnergyStorage #BESS #EMS #Decarbonisation
