The agreement marks Centrica Energy’s first battery optimisation agreement in Sweden, and another step in Centrica’s growing Nordic battery portfolio. Under the agreement, Centrica Energy will provide route-to-market and optimisation services for the BESS, enabling participation initially in select ancillary service markets. The agreement leverages Centrica’s advanced optimisation platform, which enables real-time cross-market trading to maximise asset value and support grid flexibility.

This agreement reflects our continued commitment to accelerating the deployment of flexible energy assets across the Nordics. With increasing volumes of renewable generation and growing demand for grid stability, batteries like this one are essential to delivering a decarbonised, resilient energy system.
