such fascinating news. Denmark has launched a 1 GWh molten salt battery, a breakthrough in renewable energy storage. This system can power 100,000 homes for up to 10 hours while achieving 80–90% efficiency when generating heat and electricity together. The battery uses molten hydroxide salts, an industrial byproduct from chlorine production, which is non-toxic, safe, and low-cost. The system stores renewable energy by converting electricity into heat, keeping it in insulated tanks, and releasing it later as electricity or thermal energy for industrial use. It can hold energy for up to two weeks with minimal loss, making it ideal for balancing the grid during periods of low solar or wind generation. A new 200 MWh facility in Holstebro will supply Arla Foods with clean thermal energy, cutting their gas consumption by 50% and saving millions in energy costs annually. Beyond electricity, molten salt batteries offer a solution to decarbonize industrial heat, which accounts for over 20% of global emissions. This technology is modular, scalable, and eco-friendly, positioning Denmark as a leader in long-duration, sustainable energy storage. #Denmark #MoltenSaltBattery #RenewableEnergy #CleanEnergy #SustainableFuture #GreenTech #EnergyInnovation

The largest #wind farm in Eastern Finland has been completed in Pieksämäki. ⚡️⚡️⚡️ With Niinimäki now online, Helen’s wind power capacity exceeds 900 megawatts. Combined with our energy storage investments, this enhances the flexibility of Finland’s energy system and supports the clean transition. “With Niinimäki, we are expanding our wind power portfolio to Eastern Finland. Over 90% of Helen’s electricity production is already clean, and our generation is distributed across the country,” says Harri Mattila, SVP of Electricity Production and Energy System Optimization at Helen. The Niinimäki Wind Farm, owned by Helen and Ålandsbanken Wind Power Fund, is a strategic investment that strengthens Finland’s energy security, market resilience, and regional development.
