About the Project

Kiinteistöakku2030 is a project focused on the role of buildings as part of the smart and flexible energy system of the future. The aim is to promote the large-scale deployment of building-integrated batteries in Finnish households by 2030.

Project Objectives

  • Improving energy self-sufficiency: Promoting the efficient storage and use of renewable energy, such as solar and wind power, especially during peak demand periods.
  • Reducing costs: Creating tools and models that help households protect themselves from electricity market price spikes.
  • Reducing greenhouse gas emissions: Decreasing dependence on fossil fuels by increasing energy efficiency.
  • Removing barriers: Solving economic, technical, and informational bottlenecks related to battery adoption.

Actions

  • Comparative analyses: Comprehensive review of international battery markets and legislation.
  • Technical development and piloting: Development and testing of battery systems, inverters, and energy management systems (EMS) in collaboration with companies.
  • Creation of tools: Building a virtual simulation platform for evaluating economic benefits and preparing installation and safety guidelines.

Duration and Funding

  • Project duration: 1 August 2025 – 31 July 2027.
  • Funders: The project is co-funded by the European Union (80 %), and the participating organizations contribute 20 % through their own funding. The funding authority is the Economic Development Centre of Northern Finland.
