Faroe Islands storage project to provide commercial grid services

The Faroe Islands, autonomous, with a population of just over 50,000 and located in the sea between Norway and Iceland, wants to get up to 75% renewable energy generation by 2020. “The environmental and economic futures of the Faroe Islands demand that we maximize the usage of all our available renewable energy resources.

Hitachi Energy storage system to harness Faroe Islands'' windpower

With no choice but to be energy independent, it has already established a strong reliance on windpower: in 2018 almost half the islands'' energy came from mainly-wind renewables. Now the islands'' power company SEV has signed a deal with Hitachi Energy for its 6 MW/7.5 MWh e-mesh PowerStore battery energy storage solution to integrate the 6.3

Faroe Islands aim for 100% renewables by 2030 using BESS

The Faroe Islands have made a significant leap in their renewable energy journey, thanks to the integration of a battery energy storage system (BESS) from Hitachi Energy. During 2022 and 2023, the BESS has increased the share of renewable energy, primarily wind and hydro, in the islands'' energy mix to 50% in 2023.

SEV and Faroe Islands see impressive sustainable energy gains

SEV has plans ahead to integrate additional BESS facilities in the country to support integration of multiple types of renewable energy sources into its grid and gain higher utilization with storing and accessing electricity.

Energy Storage — Grid Integration Toolkit

Energy storage refers to technologies capable of storing electricity generated at one time for later use. These technologies can store energy in a variety of forms including as electrical, mechanical, electrochemical or thermal energy. Storage is an important resource that can provide system flexibility and better align the supply of variable renewable energy with demand by shifting the
