Nordic countries are actively upgrading energy infrastructure with new technologies. Announced October 2, 2025, the changes aim to bolster clean energy and grid management. Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are expanding to provide grid services. These include synthetic inertia and frequency regulation. Norway and Sweden leverage existing hydropower as storage. Pumped hydropower storage is also under consideration for long-term balancing. Smart grids, real-time monitoring, and automated controls are receiving investment to optimize flexibility. These upgrades also ensure system resilience. Digitalization efforts include artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). These technologies improve predictive maintenance and demand forecasting. They also enhance real-time system balancing. Virtual power plants (VPPs) aggregate flexible energy loads, supported by high smart meter penetration. Offshore wind is poised for growth, with floating platforms enabling deeper water deployments. Power producers explore green hydrogen and Power-to-X (PtX) to utilize excess renewable energy. Finland and Sweden consider small modular reactors (SMRs) in their energy strategies. Feasibility studies are currently underway. Continued investment, supportive policies, and regional collaboration are crucial for successful technology adoption. These efforts support a resilient and sustainable Nordic energy future.
