Merus Power delivers battery energy storage to Enertia
Merus Power has signed a contract to supply a 9.9 MW/ 9,8 MWh battery energy storage system to Enertia Oy. The deal also includes a service and maintenance contract. The energy storage facility will be built in Forssa and commissioned by the end of 2025. This order supports Merus Power’s growth strategy and strengthens the company’s leading position in the domestic energy storage market.
The main function of the energy storage facility is to support the balance between generation and consumption in the grid by participating in the wholesale electricity market and Fingrid’s reserve market. As renewables become more common, balancing electricity production and consumption will require more energy capacity that can be quickly adjusted.
Enertia Oy is a Finnish energy storage company founded in 2024 with the aim of building around 20 MW of battery energy storages annually. “This project is an important milestone for us. Our business relies on the return on energy storages, and we wanted a reliable and experienced supplier as our partner. Merus Power has already delivered several battery energy storage systems to the market.” – Kalle Myllymäki, CEO at Enertia Oy.
In critical infrastructure projects, such as systems affecting the functionality and reliability of the electric grid, the importance of Finnish involvement is also highlighted from a security of supply perspective.
“Our energy storage solutions meet the needs of the market. Our in-house developed power electronic modules and software make our solutions flexible and scalable. By developing our own products, we are also able to respond to future changes in the electricity market. Meanwhile, Merus Power’s growth is proceeding according to plan.” – Kari Tuomala, CEO at Merus Power.
