* AB Volvo outlined plans for an energy park near its proposed Mariestad battery-cell plant, centered on large-scale battery storage. * Initial capacity targets 70 MW/260 MWh, positioning it among Sweden’s largest battery energy storage sites. * The project aims to support regional grid stability via flexibility services, feeding stored power back when needed. * A second track adds a future testbed to develop and trial new energy solutions for customers and partners. * Start-up is targeted for 2027; the nearby battery-cell factory is expected to begin production after 2030.
