How does Bess make money in Finland?

Today, BESS’s most significant revenue sources in Finland are frequency containment reserves (FCR-N, FCR-D up, and FCR-D down). Prices of FCR-N and FCR-D up have continuously increased for the past few years. Fingrid procures these reserves based on competitive bidding from the yearly and hourly markets.

How much does a MWh system cost?

MWh (Megawatt-hour) is a measure of energy capacity (how long the system can continue delivering that power output). For example, a 1 MW / 4 MWh BESS has four hours of storage capacity.So, while the system might be $200,000 per MW, the effective cost can be $800,000 per MWh if it has four hours duration.
