Europe''s telecommunications sector has the potential to deploy 15GWh of distributed energy storage (DES), halving its energy costs and helping the energy transition,
In addition to supplying solar energy to power the mobile stations, the systems'' batteries can be used as backup power sources. At the same time,
Unique Distributed Energy Storage (DES) solution enables Elisa to optimise the energy procurement of its base stations and o Elisa has now been awarded a grant of EUR 3,9 million by Finland''s Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment to supplement Elisa''s investment. This enables Elisa to target 150MWh storage capacity
Smart Energy Solutions aims to optimise its use by creating a solution called Distributed Energy Storage, which is a virtual power plant", Kokko says. With this capacity, Elisa can offer balancing services for
Image: Elisa. Telecoms firm Elisa Corporation has signed a contract to bring its distributed energy storage (DES) solution to Finnish mobile networks. The deal, with Helsinki-based cellular infrastructure construction and maintenance provider DNA Tower, will use the backup battery energy storage system (BESS) capacity of mobile
DNA Tower Finland, a company building and maintaining the mobile network infrastructure in Finland, is to join Elisa in using its Distributed Energy Storage (DES) solution. DES enables operators to optimize their electricity costs using back-up battery capacity, while also strengthening network resilience and supporting electricity grids in their transition to
The world''s first commercial sand battery system is now in operation in Western Finland. Polar Night Energy. This is a thermal energy storage system, effectively built around a big, insulated
Finnish telecommunications company Elisa has won a €3.9m ($4.16m) grant from the government of Finland to roll out a ''Distributed Energy Storage'' (DES)
Image: CC. This year has seen major energy storage deployment plans announced by telecommunications network operators in Finland and Germany, and substantial fundraises by ESS firms targeting the segment. Finlands''s Elisa announced a 150MWh rollout across its network in February while Deutsche Telekom began a
Using the solution, operators can utilise DES assets across their radio access networks (RAN) to participate in electricity markets and optimise their own energy consumption. Doing so could halve operators'' electricity costs while helping the integration of renewable energy in the wider market, Elisa said. Elisa announced in February 2023 that
In Finland, following a trial in the summer of 2022 of 200 base Elisa stations across the country Elisa received the technical pre-qualification acceptance from Fingrid (Finland''s Transmission System Operator or TSO) for its Distributed Energy Storage solution to provide balancing services in a specific balancing market, the
Elisa turns RAN assets into virtual power plant. Around two years ago the Finnish service provider Elisa saw a business case for making its mobile network part of
A Finnish telecoms company will use a multi-million dollar grant from the Finnish government to deploy a ''Distributed Energy Storage'' solution across its network. According to Energy Monitor, telecommunications company Elisa was awarded a €3.9m ($4.16m) grant from the government of Finland to move forward with a ''Distributed
By creating a virtual power plant using additional network storage capacity, the AI-powered DES system can load-shift to allow participants to purchase electricity from the grid during low-cost periods and use stored resources when costs are higher. That additional capacity can then be used throughout the network or sold to
The company will put the funding towards a rollout of its Distributed Energy Storage (DES) solution across its network with an expected total energy
Elisa''s Distributed Energy Storage solution enables a distributed virtual power plant (VPP) solution to be deployed using the Radio Access Network. This is built on an AI/ML software engine that adjusts each
Around two years ago the Finnish service provider Elisa saw a business case for making its mobile network part of the national virtual power plant (VPP) infrastructure. Now its AI-driven Distributed Energy Storage (DES) has gone live in Finland and it is not only saving Elisa money, it''s also having the unforeseen benefit of
Elisa, a telecommunications firm in Finland, has received €3.9 million in funding from the government to create a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) using batteries. This VPP, which is expected to be the largest of its kind in Europe, will be formed by deploying its Distributed Energy Storage (DES) solution across its network, with a total energy
DNA Tower Finland, a company building and maintaining the mobile network infrastructure in Finland, is to join Elisa in using its Distributed Energy Storage (DES) solution. DES
Unique Distributed Energy Storage (DES) solution enables Elisa to optimise the energy procurement of its base stations and offer electricity grid balancing services to the local Transmission Service Operator. Elisa has now been awarded a grant of EUR 3,9 million by Finland''s Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment to
Elisa has transformed the backup batteries in its mobile network base stations into a smartly controlled, distributed virtual power plant with a capacity of 150 MWh, which serves as part of the grid balancing reserve
The Finnish government has granted Elisa €3.9 million ($4.2m) in funding for the rollout of its Distributed Energy Storage (DES) solution across its network. According to the operator, it will create
DNA Tower Finland collaborates with Elisa to integrate distributed energy storage solutions, reducing carbon emissions and enhancing network resilience.
