Sustainable Energy Solutions Sweden Holding (SENS)
and
Dovre Group
have agreed to sell the
Pyhäsalmi battery energy storage project
in
Finland
to
Prime Capital AG
. The transaction is expected to close in
Q1 2026
, subject to
conditions precedent
, with final pricing to be confirmed by
April 2026
.
The key insight is clear. Capital is paying for
execution certainty
, not development optionality. The
Pyhäsalmi
asset is fully
ready-to-build
, and
Dovre
entered the project in
June 2024
with a defined exit objective once development risk was removed. That objective has now been met.
Dovre’s reported EUR 2.1 million
share of proceeds at closing, alongside a potential
earn-out
linked to production by
1 July 2027
, reflects disciplined
risk transfer
. Early-stage exposure was monetized, while late-stage delivery risk now sits with a fund structured to own and operate
merchant storage
.
The project’s configuration reinforces this positioning. At
85 MW / 170 MWh
, the asset is sized for
frequency regulation
and
arbitrage
in
Finland
, not long-term contracted capacity. Its location adjacent to the
closed Pyhäsalmi mine
and inclusion in a broader
energy cluster
further reduces site and permitting uncertainty.
This deal signals continued investor preference for
Nordic storage assets
that have cleared
permitting, grid access, and design hurdles
. Development-stage batteries remain difficult to exit.
Fully executable projects
are not.
