A Practice Note discussing the process of connecting an energy generating or battery storage facility to the electric grid and the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the interconnection process. These resources electrically connect to the grid through an inverter— power electronic devices that convert DC energy into AC energy—and are referred to as inverter-based resources (IBRs). This article explores their applications, benefits, and real-world examples while highlighting industry trends and solutions. .

The Swedish government has introduced the Kraftlyftet proposal, aimed at increasing power availability in the electricity system – including through batteries connected to PV systems. Its objective is to enable more electricity users to connect in regions facing grid capacity. . Sweden installedx 430 MW of solar in the first half of 2025, with industry group Svensk Solenergi noting slower growth than last year but rising interest in battery storage driven by green tax deductions for households. This milestone investment represents a significant step toward Sweden's goal of achieving a carbon-neutral energy system. The opening. . We are both proud and very pleased to see one of our battery projects, developed entirely in-house, now being realized. The 10 MW (18 MWh) battery project in Södertälje, Sweden, was sold to Nordic Solar in December 2024 and is currently being constructed by Soltech Group.
