Sitowise is responsible for the overall permitting package for renewable energy company Neoen’s major battery energy storage project planned in Kissanhäntä, Keminmaa. The investment of approximately EUR 200 million is one of Finland’s most significant energy storage projects and supports the reliability of the electricity system and the energy transition in Northern Finland. 

The planned battery energy storage system has been sized to help secure the electricity supply and balance the power grid. According to estimates presented publicly, once completed, the project could supply up to approximately half of Lapland’s electricity consumption for four hours. (Lapin Kansa, 02/2026) 

Sitowise’s experts are responsible for the overall construction permitting process, ensuring that the project progresses smoothly in accordance with regulatory requirements and supporting Neoen through the project’s key permitting stages. 

According to preliminary plans, approximately 200 battery units housed in shipping containers will be installed in the area. Construction is scheduled for completion in December 2028, and the target is to make the investment decision by summer 2027 at the latest.
