What the sources say
CORRECTED 12 Oct 2026: was "operating". Nala (28 Aug 2026): "now energised", moving "into commissioning and testing with commercial operations expected in the next months". Nala (11 Nov 2025): operations expected by the end of 2026; Trafigura uses the capacity for its trading. ESS News's "recently energized" (8 Oct 2026) had been read as operating.

From the owners’, developers’ and builders’ own releases, council decisions and permit bulletins, read by Vitreous and checked against the owners’ own words on 12 October 2026; a bracket such as “(Energy-Storage.news only)” in a field means the trade press is still the only source for it. Fingrid publishes no meter, no price and no instruction per battery, so this page carries no money: what one megawatt is paid in Fingrid’s markets is on the markets page, for the whole market and never for a named battery.
