How does a mine storage support the energy system?

A mine storage supports the energy system in several ways, often simultaneously. It can act as energy storage, grid frequency regulator, capacity reserve, transmission support, inertia provider, or as a behind-the-meter solution to support large energy producers or energy-intensive industries.

What is mine storage?

Mine Storage provides a storage solution with a unique, modular design, and reliable functionality. Our design is a fast response, closed loop system in old mines. By using mines, we minimize the environmental impact, reduce construction costs, and utilize existing infrastructure such as grid connections.

How many households can a mine storage facility support?

An average mine storage can support 250 000 households when it is releasing energy. Read about our Swedish project that we are developing in Skåne. The Vånga mine storage facility will be able to deliver 25-50 GWh per year to the region and will therefore contribute to a more stabile energy situation in southern Sweden.

How big is a mine storage facility?

A mine storage can vary in size from 15 to 200 MW and in discharge time from 2 to 12 hours, depending on the need in the area where it is located. To put this in context, A 100 MW facility can provide a city of 250,000 households with energy for up to 12 hours.

Who is minestorage?

Connect, follow & have a conversation with us. MineStorage is a company founded by people with a vision and to bring renewable energy by utilizing underground mines to store energy and balance the grid.

How can off-grid mining improve the environment?

For off-grid mining, renewable energy and storage technologies present an ideal opportunity not only to improve the mine’s environmental footprint, but also reduce energy costs while improving power quality. We are seeing a strong drive to optimise energy across mines, including solutions for e-mobility and rapid charging.
