🎙️Our CEO, Axel Holmberg, had an insightful conversation with energy experts Gerard Reid and Niclas Sigholm about how batteries are truly "changing the game in front of our eyes" (quoting Fatih Birol Executive Director of the International Energy Agency (IEA) ) We’ve distilled the key takeaways from their discussion below, but trust us—you’ll want to listen to the full episode! 👉 https://lnkd.in/dvhCtqJ5 In the comments, we've also shared some eye-opening facts and data 📊 from trusted sources to highlight just how central grid-scale batteries are to the energy revolution and our net-zero ambitions, and just how fast things are moving. Key Takeaways: 🚀 Scalability, scalability, scalability. Achieving a net-zero world depends on the scalability of clean technology. Some technologies are more scalable than others, and batteries stand out as the most scalable technology of all. See facts and numbers in the comments. 🦹 Policy makers and regulators need to keep up with technological advancements. The energy sector is undergoing a revolution. To keep pace, every part of the energy ecosystem must shift from "administrator" mode to "innovator" mode, reimagining how we meet the evolving needs of energy consumers through digitalisation and the adoption of new clean technologies. This shift requires brave policy makers and regulators that are determined to accelerate the pace of regulatory change, or Europe risks falling behind global leaders like China and the U.S. in the energy transition race. 🔋 Batteries have only scratched the surface. The full potential of grid-scale batteries—particularly in Europe—has yet to be unlocked, though great examples already exist in places like Texas, California, Australia, and the UK. Ancillary services (such as supporting the electricity grid through frequency balancing) are just the beginning. Soon, we and our industry peers will unlock new business models and applications as batteries become central to building a smarter, more resilient, and more affordable energy system. But for this to happen in time, we need regulations to catch up. Thanks for a great conversation! #energistrategipodden #sigholm #energy #redefiningenergy

🚀 Big Announcement 🚀 Ingrid Capacity is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Locus Energy, a leading Nordic energy infrastructure company owned by SEB Asset Management’s fund SEB Nordic Energy. This partnership represents a pivotal moment in strengthening Sweden’s energy system and advancing the electrification of society. It also signifies a key step in Ingrid Capacity’s ambition to become Europe’s leading flexibility provider with 8GW flexibility assets under management by 2030. The partnership with Locus Energy will enable the construction of 13 new large-scale battery energy storage systems across southern Sweden, adding an additional 196 MW of flexible capacity to the national grid in price areas SE3 and SE4. This investment is the second largest of its kind in Sweden and the Nordics, following a previous partnership that we announced last year. Ingrid Capacity’s team has positioned the storage assets where they will support the local grids the most. Upon commissioning and in the short-term, these flexible assets will provide crucial ancillary services, ensuring grid stability and reliability. This will also help reduce the cost of ancillary services, which has increased rapidly to SEK 6 billion per annum in recent years, a burden ultimately borne by society and end-consumers. In the mid-to-long term, these storage assets will not only provide ancillary services but also be instrumental in load shifting, as well as supporting energy grid companies (DSOs) and industries, ultimately contributing to more stable electricity prices and facilitating smarter and more cost-effective grid upgrades and operations. We want to thank everyone involved for making all of this possible, your hard work and dedication are truly inspiring!

🔋Batteries are now making it cheaper to stabilize the energy grid💰 Svenska kraftnät, the Swedish TSO, has recently revised their forecast for the cost of ancillary services in 2024 from 8 billion SEK to 6 billion SEK. This reduction is largely due to the increased participation of battery energy storage and wind power in providing ancillary services. We anticipated this development and discussed it earlier this year with energy expert and podcast host, Niclas Sigholm in Energistrategipodden. Tune in here👉https://lnkd.in/dCpF9XKJ While some might view this trend as bad news for battery energy storage in Sweden, we see it differently. We're confident in the sustainability of our business model today and in the long-term. Our battery assets provide critical flexibility to the grid, supports the broader electrification of society, while saving money on the electricity bill for end-consumers. This is indeed a win-win-win situation🏆

Can you spot our Board of Directors and CEO? 👀 Today, our Board, members of the Management Team, and our Head of Construction visited our 20 MW battery energy storage site in Eskilstuna.
