Project progress
Despro Engineering contributes to the advancement of battery energy storage technology in the role of Owner’s Engineer in a project developed by FRV and AmpTank. This pioneering initiative, located in Simo near Fingrid’s Simojoki substation, marks a significant step in supporting Finland’s renewable energy infrastructure.
The first phase of the project features 26 advanced Sungrow PowerTitan batteries with a total capacity of 60 MWh. Despro’s Owners engineering (OE) services in battery energy storage projects refer to the technical and managerial support provided to the project owner throughout the development, implementation, and operational phases of the project. These services ensure that the project is executed according to the owner’s objectives, specifications, and industry standards. The project has the potential to expand, with a second phase being explored to increase capacity to 200 MWh, further strengthening Finland’s energy transition.
The battery energy storage system is expected to become operational in early 2025, enhancing grid stability and efficiency while enabling greater utilization of renewable energy. Finland joins the UK and Australia as a key market for FRV’s large-scale energy storage solutions, and Despro Engineering is excited to support this forward-looking initiative.
At Despro, we are committed to advancing innovative solutions that build a sustainable and resilient energy future.
