Property Battery 2030

Property Battery 2030 is a nationwide research and development project aimed at promoting the large-scale adoption of property batteries in Finland. The project supports household energy self-sufficiency, reduces energy costs, and increases the use of renewable energy. Its goal is to remove barriers to the deployment of property batteries—whether they are economic, technical, or informational—and to respond to changes and price fluctuations in the electricity market. Additionally, the project develops expertise, new business models, and services that support energy efficiency and sustainable development.

Property‑level batteries play a key role in increasing the flexibility of the energy system. They make it possible, for example, to store solar and wind power and use it when electricity demand is at its highest. The Property Battery 2030 project develops and pilots new technical solutions, compares international markets and legislation, and creates tools and business models for households and companies.

“Together with our project partners, we are organising a national Road Show tour that promotes the spread of best practices, strengthens cooperation, and supports the adoption of property‑level batteries across the country,”

says Centria’s Project Manager Anna Kwokori

10/2026 Estate battery LCA calculations

Battery environmental impacts must be assessed from a full life-cycle perspective, as the majority of the climate impacts associated with residential battery energy storage systems occur during manufacturing and transportation. A recent assessment examined a 15 kWh battery system under Finnish operating conditions and compared sodium-ion and lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries. The results show that sodium-ion batteries offer several environmental advantages at the cell level, including lower material consumption and a smaller carbon footprint. However, the overall environmental performance of a battery system is also determined by end-of-life treatment and recycling processes.

“It is not yet possible to determine the most environmentally sustainable option based solely on a single material or battery technology. Only by considering the combined impacts of manufacturing, use, and recycling can we gain a reliable understanding of environmental performance,” says Anna Kwokori, RDI Specialist at Centria.
