Sweden has traditionally lagged behind continental Europe in Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) growth, but recent developments have propelled rapid expansion. Until 2022, only a few projects were launched, mainly supported by subsidies and specific storage needs.
Ember provides the latest capex and Levelised Cost of Storage (LCOS) for large, long-duration utility-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) across global markets outside China and the US, based on recent auction results and expert interviews. 1. All-in BESS projects now cost just $125/kWh as of October 2025 2.
Svenska Kraftnat is also expected to increase the volumes procured for aFRR and mFRR by 2030 which should help price levels in these markets as more batteries rush to the grab a piece. Clean Horizon incorporates all these dynamics into its price forecasting for Sweden. Batteries rush to mFRR in Sweden as returns from FFR and FCR-D decline.
Sweden's accelerating industrial electrification, which could double electricity demand over the next 20 years—from 140 TWh to over 250 TWh annually. Growing adoption of co-located BESS with wind and solar parks to enhance grid stability and optimise energy output.
The 2020 Cost and Performance Assessment provided installed costs for six energy storage technologies: lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, lead-acid batteries, vanadium redox flow batteries,
