Covenergo and Delta Capacity Start Construction of 125MW AKKU One BESS in Finland
Covenergo, a renewable energy developer, has partnered with Delta Capacity to begin construction on the AKKU One battery energy storage system (BESS) project in Lapinlahti, Finland. The facility will have a capacity of 125MW and an energy storage capability of 300MWh, expected to be commissioned by Q4 2027. The BESS was acquired from Helios Nordic Energy as a ready-to-build asset, with Covenergo holding majority ownership. Delta Capacity will manage construction, secure offtake agreements, and oversee long-term operations. The project supports Covenergo’s strategy to expand its flexible energy portfolio in the Nordic region while reinforcing Delta Capacity's growing presence there. The AKKU One is part of a broader trend toward battery storage deployment across Europe as countries like Finland increase their reliance on wind and solar power, requiring more grid flexibility.
