From our LinkedIn:
The power system is under increasing strain. Variable generation, growing congestion and higher volatility mean that flexibility has become core infrastructure, not a marginal add-on.
That is why the direction taken by Svenska Kraftnät is important. By proposing a separate customer category for energy storage in the future transmission tariff, storage is finally being recognised for what it is: either consumption nor generation, but a system function in its own right.
Treating storage as both load and generation creates distorted cost signals and unnecessary regulatory risk. A dedicated category allows the grid value of storage – balancing, congestion relief and system stability – to be priced correctly.
This is not about subsidies. It is about accurate system economics.
When flexibility is priced properly, long-duration energy storage becomes investable, scalable and bankable, exactly what the power system needs as it transitions from energy scarcity to system scarcity.
Mine Storage welcomes the new proposition and hopes to contribute to this category in the future.
