The EstateBattery2030 project, coordinated by Seinäjoki University of Applied Sciences (SEAMK), will launch in August 2025. The project aims to promote the adoption of building battery systems in Finnish households and properties, enabling more efficient use of renewable energy, improving energy self-sufficiency, and supporting Finland’s transition towards a carbon-neutral society.

Building batteries are key to increasing the flexibility of the energy system. They allow for the storage and use of solar and wind power when demand is at its highest. The project will develop and pilot new technical solutions, compare international markets and legislation, and create tools and business models for both households and companies. 

There is significant untapped potential for energy storage in Finnish homes. Building batteries enable the storage of surplus solar electricity and help households manage electricity price fluctuations. The project supports the green transition, reduces dependence on fossil fuels, and creates new business opportunities for Finnish companies. 

As a result, the adoption of building batteries will expand, energy efficiency will improve, and the use of renewables will increase. The project supports the emergence of new business models, local employment, and strengthens Finland’s position as a leader in energy technology. 

The project is implemented jointly by SEAMK (lead partner), Vaasa University of Applied Sciences (VAMK), South-Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences (Xamk), Turku University of Applied Sciences (TurkuAMK), and Centria University of Applied Sciences. Each partner has its own area of responsibility, such as technical development, battery chemistry research, installation and safety guidelines, and life cycle analysis. 

One of the project’s most visible actions is the national Road Show, organized collaboratively by all partners. During the Road Show, project results and pilot solutions will be presented in five cities across Finland. The program includes demonstrations, workshops, and networking events for industry professionals, companies, and the general public. The tour promotes the dissemination of best practices, collaboration, and the adoption of building batteries nationwide.
