RES, SCR sell 17-MW BESS project in Sweden

UK-based independent renewable energy developer RES Group and Swedish battery developer SCR have sold a 17-MW battery energy storage system (BESS) project in Sweden to Rocmore Energy.

The BESS, located in the Alingsas Municipality, was developed by RES and SCR in partnership with the municipally-owned company Alingsas Energi.

The facility, which will be built by Rocmore Energy, is scheduled to be commissioned in the summer of 2025. It will be connected to the local grid at one of Alingsas Energi’s transformer stations.

The Alingsas BESS marks the second collaboration between RES and SCR and follows the 20-MW Landskrona BESS project in southern Sweden sold to Swiss utility Axpo in March 2023.

“Rocmore Energy is delighted to expand our presence in the Swedish energy market. The acquisition of the 17 MW BESS project, made together with our partner Pyrios, marks another milestone in Rocmore Energy’s ambitions to enable the transition to renewable energy by providing robust energy storage solutions in Sweden,” said Rocmore’s COO Johan Thorpenberg.
