Cloudberry Clean Energy ASA ("Cloudberry" or the "Company"), together with
Hafslund Vekst AS, is pleased to announce that the partners have reached a final
investment decision (FID) in the joint development of Dingelsundet Battery
Energy Storage System ("BESS") project, located outside Karlstad, Sweden. The
project's size will be 24 MW/ 48 MWh and the partners will own 50% of the
project each.
The project is made possible by pivoting from offshore wind to energy storage,
enabled by a significant reduction in battery cost over the past three years and
strong market outlook for grid flexibility in the Nordics, as evidenced by the
record-high imbalance price in recent months. Both Hafslund and Cloudberry view
this as an attractive opportunity to invest in emerging technology with
substantial market potential.
"This investment is a testament to Cloudberry's commitment to driving the energy
transition in the Nordics. Together with Hafslund, we are proud to take a
pioneering role in deploying new storage technologies that enable a more
flexible and resilient power system," says Anders Lenborg, CEO of Cloudberry
Clean Energy ASA.
The project will be financed with a 50/50 split between equity and debt, making
it one of the first BESS projects in the Nordics to achieve project financing.
The total estimated CAPEX cost is approximately 11 million Euros on a 100%
basis. Construction is scheduled to begin in August 2025, with commissioning
expected in the third quarter of 2026. Looking ahead, the project partners see
potential to expand the site with additional battery capacity and explore the
integration of power production, enabling further value creation and supporting
the ongoing energy transition in the region.
